First day of school
Winter break was great. Lots of lazing around, reading good books... I visited Robyn in Corvallis and got to ride horses! Bareback! And clean stalls all by myself! That was fabulous. I visited Zack and his family in Philadelphia for a week, which was also fabulous. I like meeting adult unschoolers. I caught The Cold that's been going around this season, and am not looking forward to the rest of the reputed three weeks of it. I feel so very much better than I did Thursday and Friday, but I've still got a cough.

While I was gone, it snowed! Twice! Well, three times if you count that it was snowing as I got off the airplane. And it's snowing again today! It was just plain cold yesterday and today, too. Easily below freezing, and really dry. Until it started snowing, anyway. Snow is still wonderful and exciting, but the thrill of biking through it has started to wear off. Maybe if I buy boots, better gloves and a scarf it'll be better.

I got up at 6:30 today to be here, PCC Sylvania, at 8. I could have gotten up a little later, I think. I'm scheduled to work here 8 to 11 Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Then I have five hours to eat lunch and do homework, which I think will work out very well cause I don't have time to do homework at home. Then math class, and sign language class. Tomorrow I have a writing class at 9am, and the international political poetry class at 2, which I'm really looking forward to. This quarter is looking really good.

Nick is out of town until the beginning of February, when Reed starts back up, but we've got eight guests to make up for it. I don't think they'll all be here at one time, but still... Jessica from New York and Dawn from Edmonton, Canada are already here. Victor, Jamie and Erin from Davis, CA arrive tomorrow afternoon. Robyn's coming up next weekend, and possibly Kat as well. Chris gets home on the 11th, dragging Ryland in tow. Oh, the wonderful wonderful people!

I need to go eat some fooooood.
