happy birthday, jen. almost a year late, I guess. =)
damn. I barely remember who the hell I am.

wow, this is so dead! wake up! wake up! freshman year has ended! only 3 more years til the big bad world! mayeb i can hide a bit longer and go to law school and prolong my fate as a hotel executive in manhattan-just one in a sea of black suits....

I LOVE BLOGGING!! Having my own blog rocks! Hope all is well with everyone, today was my first day of class for this semester.

(keeping joint alive in small infrequent bursts)

hello people... school starts soon, eh? how is everyone?

hello there! Cornell is done. Has been done since I finished my last final on Monday. But I am sick, and must put up Christmas decorations---Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night (or afternoon, whatever!!)!

wow. joint lives.

so. ultimate. inconsistent patterns of diet and sleep. unseasonably warm weather. incorrigibly warm room, warmer than anyone else's on the floor. cinder blocks and alarm clocks, blankets and turtlenecks and howard stern in the morning.

more later perhaps.

so here I am, in response to my former roomie's plea! Cornell engineering=not for Jean! I'm exploring options next semester, taking some classes to expose myself to more business-oriented stuff, see how that meshes with me. I am so happy I came here tho!! Altho I am stressed out most of the time, it is comforting to know that I'm the 6th person in my family to be tempted to throw myself into a gorge after a CS prelim (don't worry, I'm not jumpin!) I'm glad I didn't let it stop me- the fact that my reminders of my family are all over the place here. It's good for me, really-all those times my dad dragged me up here when I was a little kid, it made me more comfortable with where I am now.
As for activities, I'm not directly involved in anything-I'm pretty involved in Greek life-I frequent my dad's old fraternity and tend to spend my free time (what there is of it) there, eating their fruit rollups and watching The Family Guy. Guys are funny!!! Esp. these guys, they're like my brothers, they've known me since I was a little soph. in high school! I plan to rush in January, I'm really looking forward to it.
I like the people here, I have branched out just as you did, Jen. I have a bunch of groups I hop back and forth among. I really enjoy having a single room--I come in and out at very odd hours of the day or night, and the explanations would get way too complicated (i.e. "I was with the guys, and we made this fort out of a couch and blankets, and we camped out on the front stoop-so that's why I didn't come home last night!")well, I have some calc to do, I hope all is well with everyone, I can't wait to hear how all of you r doing!! I miss you!! Harvard SSP reunion!! Come to Cornell for Slope Day!!(I sincerely hope you all know what that is!)

october! month of halloween, visits, ultimate tournaments. just curious: who's playing ultimate for their school? i know at least jen, lisa and i are.

small world indeed... evan and aileen from pennypacker are here at columbia... ji-won and anil from stoughton... tim from weld... and more, says tim, but i don't know them. so how is everyone? this blog sure took a nosedive. heh

Dude! I ran into Jeremy today at the dining hall! He's a physics major at CU, and lives across the street from me!! Small world, huh?
