Limbo lower now!

Well, since Sarah has been updating her page more than me I feel a little out done. Thus, this entry. Life at PLU is good right now. Classes are picking up a bit with labs and homework edging their way in my schedule. My first Computer Information Systems quiz was a bit of a joke. Now, don't get me wrong, this class is going to be valuable for not only me but definintely others in it. My purpose for taking it is two fold: 1) in my major it takes the place of another semester of calculus and 2) I really would like to learn how to use Excel and Access. That's it. The first quiz we had this week was amusing because our professor's broken English skills translated directly onto paper. It's not very hard to decipher but was funny to me because I could hear the accent in her writing. She jokes about her English skills by telling us it'll make us listen more closely to what she says in class. Too true.

Igneous Petrology (a.k.a. a class about igneous rocks) is pretty good so far. I've teamed up with Renee Rose for labs and we have, thus far, worked very thoroughly on it. We do this in hopes that it will aid us in our understanding material that could be on tests. Lecture for that class follows a similar pattern that my Optical Mineralogy class did last semester. Our prof is very good at what they do and has vast knowledge of the material being covered. It's just a bit over our heads sometimes. He is conscious of this and has told us he's working not to overwhelm us with insignificant terminology.

And then there's Physics. I must say that right now I'm still getting into the swing of things in that class. A lack of math-related classes in the last couple semesters can really rust up the ol' hinges a bit. With last Friday's problem set I think I applied some oil to the grimey gears and am on my way to a somewhat exciting semester in that class.

Other news from my life is somewhat limited. Sarah and I are trying to share our lives with one another via email and the occasional live chat. It's very strange to be stuck in this sort of relationship limbo. What I mean by "limbo" is that I have a girlfriend. There's no doubting that. But she's not around. Naturally I notice other women. It sucks but it's true. When one has a girlfriend does that leave me any means by which I may become interested in those other women? Not if I'm a good boyfriend. Am I single? No. You can start to see what kind of limbo this really is. I love Sarah greatly and this shouldn't be taken as a sign of a failing relationship. It is, however, a sign that I truly care for her because being in this limbo is where I want to be. The only thing that can alleviate it is Sarah's return.
