Matt had a bike move on Talk Like a Pirate Day. We moved his stuff (including a well-behaved kitty Herman, a mattress/boxspring, dresser, plug-in world map, table, desk, a sign taken from a military base, etc) and then we ate pizza, beer, and jumped on the trampoline.

Probably because I come and go from campus so quickly and I'm only ever on campus to study or work, I find it difficult to meet acquaintances on campus. Sometimes the age gap feels great between me and my classmates, at other times I feel like a 12-year-old.
My study skills are rustier than these whipsmart kids born in the 1990's, and I feel like a doofus in class sometimes. I really DON'T have an opinion of the theory in J Tickner's dissection of international relations- at least not one that isn't childish.
I went to the DoJo to seek help for my first paper for Reed's only required course: Humanities 110, a foundation of Greek and Roman civilization. I also, I discovered, have no opinion or original theories about the Iliad's description of death. I just know a lot of people die.
I went to the queer alliance meeting before I rolled home and had a great time chatting with folks. It was the first social thing I'd been to on campus.

The first day of class all Reed freshman were greeted by upperclassman dressed as Greek mythological characters and gods before our first Humanities 110 lecture (affectionately called "Hum 110"). They demanded tributes of libations, preferably in the form of PBR.
