The end is near! It's finally time for finals! All I have to do is show up for a Geography final that will only take a 1/2 hour bite out of Wednesday and then pass a 2 hour Math final on Thursday and I am FREE! Granted, I have to do a lot of work for the newspaper inbetween my two finals. We are doing a special issue entirely about the election season and it is entirely letters to the editor. Kinda cool; it's good to know that at least 30 people on this campus have inteligent thoughts and can back them up logically.


Time to go back in time.......bwooooooo......... I went Boise, Idaho this weekend to visit family. (It's not Boize, it's pronounced Boise!) My aunt had her birthday on Friday and my Grandma turned 69 on Sunday. My cousins (Angie and Christy) even happend to in be in town. Angie flys off on Tuesday to her new job as a private engligh teacher in South Korea and Christy just transfered from some university in Illinois to Boise State to be closer to home. And my Grandma is just as fun and goofy as ever.


Back to the future ....... wooooshhhhh ....... Thursday night I'm going to "Deck The Hall Ball" at the Key Arena with Will. It's about time I got out to see a concert. I'm really looking forward to seeing Modest Mouse and The Shins even though I haven't heard much of either; but what I have heard is pretty good.


And Saturday is the day when all will make sense again. I will be in my element; I will be up at Stevens Pass playing in the snow. Actually, I have instructor training for Bob Hall Ski School. I don't even know if the lifts will be running because there isn't that much snow yet, but I'm willing to hike.


And those lucky Ukranians get to vote again on December 26th. Go Orange Party!
