Logarithims, Rice Krispies, and Male-Bonding

One thing I can say is that the weather down here has been pretty amazing. I would dare say ::perfect::. The average temperature is about 76 and there's always a breeze with partly cloudy to clear skies. Yesss, i love autumn! I remember being in middle school and high school and asking the teachers all the time if we could go outside for class. The obvious answer to a 9th grader would be "Yeah, sure!" But I was rejected and told time and time again, "No, because we won't get anything done." SO WHAT!?? Anyway, relentless and ready to give the "outside class" idea another stab, i worked up the courage to ask my math prof. We had been in the 55 minute class for only about 15 minutes. He had done a few problems on the board and then paused for us to soak it in, for him to ponder and collect his thoughts too perhaps. I shot my hand up..."Dr. Glover? Since it's so awesomely gorgeous and nice outside, can we go outside for class?" Giggles and snickers were heard throughout the classroom as Dr. Glover looked at me, then checked his watch and looked back at the class. "Well okay, i don't see why not?" And so we gathered our bags and out the door we went into the beautiful sunshine. Dr. Glover ran to his office to retrieve something and the class settled onto a big circle of cement. Glover came over to us with a pink bucket in his hand. He dove back into the lesson with sidewalk chalk in hand. (Why a math professor has a bucket of sidewalk chalk in his office, i have no idea? Perhaps for times such as this).

This next picture displays the artistic talent of the Hart dorm. The cafeteria staff put on a contest for each dorm to sculpt a buffalo (school mascot) out of rice krispie treats. Each team (consisting of 3-4 people from that dorm) was given a big mound of rice krispie treat, candy for accessories, gloves and 3 minutes for sculpting. This one was the winner: from Hart hall. We all get fresh baked cookies! Mmmm!

Scott (the tall one) and Christian are two really awesome guys that I've met down here. (Chill out girls: they're only friends). Scott's a sophomore and it's been rumored he has the best singing voice on campus, and I would have to agree. He also has a really dry sense of humor and it's hilarious. Christian (or better known as C.T.) could go by the alias of "Mr. Milligan." He's a senior at Milligan and everyone knows who he is. He's vice president of SGA and a leader for Vespers (our student-led worship service on sunday nights). C.T. is all about having fun and sometimes too much fun (perhaps lighting speed bumps on fire and then "lowering" them by applying a pick-axe is a little much; or how about changing the dynamics of the school's pool with red kool-aid?)

Anyway, these are just a few happenings around campus presently. I went on a rescue mission tonight and was successful. I'll have to write about that and my new job later. It's currently 313am and my body is shutting down. Goodnight!!
