Random thoughts.

I miss the rain.

And yet I almost don't want it to rain, because it's too foreign here, it never feels quite like home. Seattle has the patent on rain I think, and they would sue if Chicago did a better imitation.

Humidity stinks.

Today I spent three hours kicking butt at Star Wars Monopoly.
I was Darth Vader ("Annikin Skywalker!" Ben insisted when he called and I informed him of the activity). I only bought two railroads (imperial warships) and one utility (Death Star), managed to trade to get the pinks (St. Charles Place, etc, called Hoth and such in this version) loaded up the hotels, and started raking in the cash. EVERYONE landed on them. Repeatedly.
I ended up with the purples too (Baltic/Mediterranean, Tattoine in this). When the floor closed (I was on a guys' floor) I had over 6000 republican credits, two monopolies, and all hotels. I rule.

It was nice hanging with some guys, I've found I get very sick of girls around here...especially after just growing up with brothers.

I don't like sharing a room with someone who thinks that that means all my food is theirs and they can loan it out to someone down the hall without asking OR telling me. Funny when a girl walks in with MY cocoa and hands it to Gretchen saying, "Here's your stuff I borrowed," and neither of them says a word to me. I hid it in my closet.

Dr. Penney is amazing, I laughed constantly in Greek today.

The Iliad is alot more interesting than I expected.

That's all for now, much love. Happy September.
