Check the time of this post. I just finished my Env. Ethics paper. And I'm eight hours early!  Hooray for coffee, that blessed wake up juice.

I'm sunburned and I don't like it. I was too dumb to put on sunscreen while playing an insane amount of Ultimate this weekend. I guess the tournament is called Gnarly Gnines for a reason. (It's nine hours long and it is quite gnarly.)  I'm feeling a bit gnarly too because my big toenail is coming off. Thank you cleats.

I slept in Red Square Thursday night. Christian and I proped up my rain fly on the Humanities lawn at 1 in the morning and took part in the Homelessness Awareness project. Basically, it was a few other people sleeping in tents or cardboard boxes. I slept well except for when the leaf blower woke me up at 6 and then a pressure washer woke me up at 7.

My throat hurts. And I have to blow my nose quite frequently. Stupid allergies. Maybe I'd feel better if I got some decent sleep. 

I've taken to wearing a hat. A trucker hat. It's brown and has a dump truck on it...it's the DIRT logo. I've never been much for wearing hats, but I'm in college so I'm trying new things. Like pickles. I like pickles now too (to a certain degree).

Jen has officially met my family (even the dog) and I have officially met her mom and her stepdad and her brother. I'm excited to meet more of her relatives.

I bought 7.5 pounds of organic pesto the other day. It was only $3.99 at Barganica! Can you believe it! Four dollars for a bucket of pesto. Four dollars only gets you 12 oz of pesto at Haggen's. I'm set to have pasta for life. Now you can all turn green with pesto envy...
