3.14

i used to love math.

i still enjoy it on the occasion.

i in lowercase for this post. i want to feel small, because i am small.

Today is March 14th. Halfway through March you say! INDEED! It's insane! By the end of this month i have to have a completed poster for my imaging class, type work done, another archaeology exam (oh boy!), more illustrations, form/communication work (oh boy! again!), etc. i feel as if this month has passed by like a ship unnoticed. But that's okay. On April 2-5 i get the privilege to go to Cocoa, FLA for the MOVE 09 conference put on by TWLOHA. EXCITING.

March, march, the ants go marching? what? Nah, well maybe... but let's see... spring break 2009 was a blessing, as well as a superspeed revisiting and newly visiting things in life. Went to Greensboro and had an AMAZING TIME with the family. Gah, they are so wonderful!!! Miss 'em though. Then headed to HAVELOCK, NC to meet Melwren's fabulous grandma! She was so cute! And i got to go on a military base for the first time... i think... Then headed to RALEIGHwood and saw some old friends :), as well as got to meet Melwren's Aunt, Uncle and Cousin!!! They were fun and stuffed us full of yummy Italian! Got to see LO!!! and she was cute, per usual :)! And then headed back to RVA!!!

i enjoy it here. Today has been full of me working on homework and trying to focus myself for the rest of the semester. As i was doing work today i decided i would close the blinds as it got closer to six eventhough the light was still out... but then two mins later i hear yelling "GET DOWN NOW! NOW SIR! GET DOWN, LAY ON THE GROUND!!!" and i'm freaking out, because someone could shoot a gun... so as i frantically start praying i perk my ears up to hear what's going on... apparently two men were getting arrested outside of my window (thank the Lord i'm on the second story) but i was home alone at the time, which didn't make things any better... they waited outside for a really long time, i think they left around 7:50ish. Funny thing is, about 10 mins before the yelling occured i asked melissa if she wanted to get out of the house and hang out somewhere, we couldn't think of anything, although, i kind of wanted to go to short pump but didn't say anything, and then the chaos occured. i'm very thankful that there were no shots fired and that the police were out there for a long time!

phew.

what a day.

i also got to barely skype chat with my mum. hope that can be longer some other time!

cheers,
the wash.
