Inauguration fun

Flickr seems like it's dealing with some heavy traffic. Dare I say that everyone is uploading their inauguration photos, like me? Probably. Nevermind, I've decided my internet is the one sucking. Pictures are uploaded.

I don't like it when songs have skips built into them, so I can't tell if my computer is messing up or not.

Dirty, snowy slush is abundant. And there's this ONE spot on my walk to school, where being splashed seems to be an especially large risk. At least, I consider it higher than chance levels when I've been NAILED by the spray of a car twice on my way to class. Same spot. First time, it was that dirty slush, second time it was just water. I was very happy when I ran into a friend shortly afterward though, so I had someone to see me in my wet plight, and appreciate the amazing accuracy of the car.

Last night, I walked in the door, where Sarah pounced on me and said, "Fun project tonight, and we're doing it whether you like it or not!" To which I could only say, "Great!" Especially when I heard that our fun project was making inauguration t-shirts. Fantastic. So we cut and taped and sewed and sprayed. And Sarah, Stephanie, and I wore our t-shirts with pride today, and met at the pub to watch it all go down. And it was thoroughly documented. Complete documentation is at flickr. Here is a sampling of the fun.I'm once more single, and Sarah and Stephanie have been taking me out on the town. They're both social, and going out with them is making handling crowds easier for me. I've actually been having fun. Dare I say that I'm picking up the occasional social skill along the way? No. Heresy!

I'm pretty ready to finish with classes. I've never cared that much about my academics, but it's getting even more difficult to care lately.
