Welcome to 2007

So I missed the Rose Bowl Parade. Oh well. I’ll have many more years to get to go see it. I went to Colorado Blvd on the evening of the 31st. I had originally gone over to a party with Roger and a bunch of our friends were there. A bunch of them wanted to save spots for the parade, so they had had people out on the street holding the spot. We went out and switched off with them. We hung out there for a while, then the rest of them joined us and celebrated the New Year on the street. It was decent. But it was cold, as we didn’t really plan on being on the street for a while. And I was tired, so when I went to bed I decided I wouldn’t set my alarm; if I got up in time, I got up. If not, no biggie. And as I already revealed, I didn’t make it up in time.

So my quarter looks okay, classes wise. I’m not particularly excited about any of my courses (Psychometric Theory, Statistics - ANOVA, Clinical Foundations II – CBT, Old Testament – Writings). But it’s 2 less credits than I had last quarter, so it won’t be too heavy. Hopefully I can work on my research some more to make good use of my time and get a good start on it.

I’m a captain for an intramurals basketball team. That’s why the post immediately below is there. Our team is called the RoadRunners, I found and edited that picture, which now also sits on our team page of the intramurals website. It’s pretty fun. My knee was still bugging me from snowboarding over break so I didn’t play last week but I played today. We lost in overtime, but it was a good, close game (obviously) against the defending champs and pre-season favorites.

My birthday was on Monday this week. Mondays are actually my long day, so I had class and groups from 1-8:30pm straight. I actually didn’t realize that it was my birthday until I had been up for a couple hours. That was probably because we had a party on Saturday, Jan 6th. There were a few of us in my class who had a birthday around the same date, so it worked out to have a combo party. It was a Hollywood party, so most people came as a movie character or Hollywood personality. On my bday after my classes I hung out with a couple friends in my building.

My internet phone isn’t working so that’s why you can’t get through to me and why I can’t phone you. If you want you can call me on my home phone land line; email me if you don’t have the number. I don’t know when the other one will be operational again (and if so, if it will have the same phone number or not).

Go RoadRunners!
