Okay, I need to create a new section called "life" because what I'm living through seems to have more of a semblance of life than anything I've had in recent years. No, I don't have a love life or a sex life (yet) but I have a social life (yeah, can you believe that?), which is more than a geek life (which is like saying, "existence of absence").
Anyway, let's see.... I really need to go to bed (Russian placement test at 9am tomorrow... gotta study before that). Today, I talked to the transfer person, ate lunch, went to a Chicago Life meeting (one of those intro to college type small group sessions) where there were 4 people I knew (well, including one I didn't know but she knew me), and then failed my 3 hour calculus placement exam (recognized a lot of it, but couldn't remember how to do it... 2 years of no math does that to you). Then, I came back to Stony and hung out with a few other xfers, then went and got some chow with them, then went downtown (mmm Hot Chocolage Sundae) and walked around for a couple of hours. I got back about an hour ago, and have spent the time translating course descriptions from Keio (the university I went to in Japan).
I want to put up the pictures I've taken, but I just don't have time. No, that's not the typical Ryo-style "I don't have time" (which usually means, "I'm too lazy"), I actually mean "I don't have time". Which basically means, "I have more important things to do... like getting a decent night's sleep before a Russian test."
Okay, gotta run...er, sleep. Oh, and leave a comment so I know you guys are reading this (thanks for the last one Mr. Hodes!).

Glad to hear you are doing so good. You make Chicago sound like so much fun, I might have to visit sometime. How much is airfare to Chicago? I heard about the replica plane you saw but never realized it was in Chicago. hasta luego
