Finals and Vanilla Chai
December 13th, 2004 | I am testing out a new look and location for the blog. At the bottom of the post, leave a comment and tell me what you think. The new setup has various bonuses. It is online based, so I can post from any computer any time I want. I was previously limited to only my personal computer at school. Now I will be able to post at home and - hopefully - while I am in Greece and Turkey during January. That way I can save many people from getting annoying emails. Let me know what you think.
Finals week. I just finished my first and easiest final: Greek. I have three finals left, all three of which require papers 7 pages or more in length and 2 of which have tests as well. I don’t have any tests tomorrow, but two on Wednesday and one on Thursday. I could leave for home on Thursday night if I wanted (and would have to if I weren’t an RA), but I am going to stay on campus until Friday afternoon and hang out with Joe. We currently have plans to go see Ocean’s 12 and then come back and watch all three movies in the Indiana Jones trilogy. I also have to pack everything that I will need for all of break and January, so that could take a while. Knowing my luck I’ll forget something important here at school (i.e. passport) and have to make an 8 hour drive to get it.
I just got back from Bookends & Beans, my new favorite place on the earth. I am currently sipping the best (prounounced “thee” for emphasis, even though the following word begins with a consonant) cup of vanilla chai I have ever had. Because it tastes identical to all of the chais I have ordered from there, one could argue that it is one of the best cups of vanilla chai I have ever had. I disagree. It’s this one.
More later.

Hey! I am so glad that you are having a fabulous time, AND I am proud of you for trying all the food. I knew you would like it!

We are all fine dealing with another round of freezing rain/sleet/snow. We miss you and send you all our love, Mom, Joe, Mo, and Pepper
