Summer?
It has been unnaturally cold the last few weeks. I have been wearing sweaters and long jeans throughout. But, finally, today it seems there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Sunlight!
But, the problem on my end is that PS2. I should have learned from my EQ days not to go out and buy RPG games. They are too much fun to get involved in and you never want to stop! Crazy stuff. What makes me take breaks is the fact that I know I have to get ready for my summer class and the hopes that I will be totally ready for the LotR class.
Which, in its own way, is an addiction. I am fascinated by the old past. Not recent past, but old, old past. Give me a story on the warriors, the kings and queens, the monsters, the churches gone bad, the dictatorships, the romantic love.
Hopefully *everything* works out. I am a little stressed on my financial basis this summer, I am not quite that good with math ;-)

Yesterday and the day before was nutso!
I have my whole room cleaned out and am now officially checked out of the dorms for the summer.
Instead of dragging my computer to my moms house (taking up too much space) or leaving it in RA storage in the basement, I decided to bring it to my office - which I have access to at anytime. Yay! It takes up a lot of space on my desk (I forget how big the sucker is).
I dropped off Holly at school this morning. Boy - she helped me out a lot. I wouldn't have been moved out by 3 yesterday if she hadn't been there, working right alongside of me. whew.
I may just have to take a nap in my chair tho - I am exhausted.

Well, it's Friday!
Congratulations to Aspen on gradumatating! She will finally be done with school. /Whew!
It's a cold morning, been working since 8am this morning - busy RA work. Running, carrying, paperwork, checking, opening drawers, closet, checking beds, checking alarms - basically everything. My left wrist is keeling me.
Which brings me to something I found recently, don't ask me how I got to it, somehow looked it up - no idea. But check out this sucker - it's HUGE!

Well, Blogger has been busy!
Strange and new - may take a bit to get used to this look.
I have my Seminar paper done - a good 18 pages. I feel good about it - not as excited as my Milton paper, though.
I have made a video on what I have left - going to see if it works, if not, I'll make some pictures. Well, it doesn't work, so take this URL:http://cal.bemidjistate.edu/english/alindahl/images/homework.avi and start up quicktime, insert URL in the "Play movie in new player" and there ya go. :)
You'll see my german work splayed out, then my milton... a few shots of my couch and past my blank tv screen (yay, go me) and then finally onto my pile of student papers.

Good times...
Milton paper is done - i enjoyed that paper thoroughly - something like putting together a large puzzle as it slowly fit together - I hope my professor thinks so too.
I have yet to finish my seminar in romantics - crazy stuff. Going to try and compare three poems - which are the next three poems that I have come to love - Cenci, Christabel, and Eve of St. Agnes. Beautiful - absolutely beautiful.
On another note, saw the movie, Van Helsing, with a lot of friends. It was a bit too... child-like, I was thinking to myself how I'd love the movie if I had been 13 or so. But - you have to admit, it is worth it to see Hugh Jackman - merow! /purrrrrrr

sorry...
Mid-post yesterday, I was interrupted and so I just posted what I had.
But we all pretty much hung out in my big tent and played games - funfun - and then when ppl started to slowly get tired, we ended up with 6 in my tent (I believe this is a 4 sleeper) and I was squishied against the wall.
Well, that didn't make for a great night - 4 girls and 2 guys barely able to move because of the lack of room. By 5am when ppl started dozing off, I slipped out with my blankets and snuck into the little tent next to us - which was vacant because one of the other campers had given up (too cold...) and so I slept on the hard ground under my down blanket for 4 hours - 9am came rolling around and it was a horrible morning - sore, tired, and downright exhausted.
I got everything picked up and brought to my room (2 trips up the stairs) and then took a nice hot shower - and konked out on my couch until 2pm.

Campout
We had the Oak Campout - we took our tents and set them up in the grounds of Oak and talked all night. We hadn't thought of getting wood for a fire - so a couple of us got together when it started to get cold and walked toward the park to gather some fallen twigs and such - Lo and Behold, there was a neighbor who had just cleaned up their yard and threw out a huge load of wood onto the curb for trash - we were ecstatic! So, we made a nice big fire and roatsed our smores all night. When the fire went out, we left to my tent (pretty big)
