you know how they say hindsight is 20/20? pretty sure that's the case here. I am currently taking chem 101 at WSU. my lecture period (of which there are three) consists of about two hundred people give or take eh, 30. we hold class in fulmer hall room 226, affectionately called the pit. shaun, i'm sure you know what im talking about. :) i just got back from lab tonight and we had our first chem lab last week. tonight we had a workshop on how to properly write a lab report and answer the discussion portion, post lab questions, etc. i can honestly say that last weeks lab was one of the dumbest ones i have ever done in my entire school career. we had to measure a bottle, put some water in it, and go measure it again, dump out that water, dry it out, weigh it again, put some more water in it, measure it, dump it out, dry it out, etc. like five times. so where does the hindsight come in on this? I REALLY WISH I HAD TAKEN IT AT WALLA WALLA. :) but i cant really change anything now and just have to remember, its only till the middle of december.
on another note, im kind of excited for this weekend, zach, my friend jessica that i think everyone has met, zach's roommate and his girlfriend are all coming over for the weekend. we have a home game against portland state on saturday. i think we're all headed to the beach friday night and then the game on saturday. oh yeah, the beach is a dance club in moscow, not the actual beach. :) i've heard that if we dont win the game on saturday against portland state, any hopes for any wins other than that one are pretty much dashed. and even if we do win agains portland, it will probably be the only win for the year. :( great first year of getting to experience cougar football. so everyone cross their fingers!

hi! its been awhile!
so, lets just say that i'm definately not the best blogger in the entire world. i end up getting caught up in everything else and dont have much time to hang out on the computer. at least during the summer. now that im back in school, it should be better again.
so this summer, i worked for the pest board. it was definately an experience. i got to meet a really neat lady who was my boss and we had a lot of fun working together. shes in a tough environment and i respect her for what she's trying to do. it was a job, definately, probably not something that i would want to do again, but an experience.
im back in school, at WSU this time. just finished my third week of classes. thankfully, the night before the first day of school, i wasnt nervous. about my classes anyways. the thing i worried about the most was how i was going to get to school. a campus parking pass is about three hundred for the year, so most people just opt to ride the bus from their home to campus and then just walk everywhere from there. lets just say that i will definately be sporting "cougar calves" by the end of my two years here. hills everywhere! :) its really nice having people here that i already know. some of my really good friends from high school as well as from walla walla are all here, so its been a pretty simple adjustment. the hardest part has been leaving zach every weekend. but i'm for the most part enjoying my classes. nothing to far and different than anything that ive done either in high school or at walla walla. i think my favorite ones are my world crops class and my turf management class. oh yeah, and by the way, did everyone know that we apparently, in wenatchee, are a large barley producing region? *cough cough* story goes, i have this really super know it all kid in my crops class who has to put his two cents in at every possible instance, whether its relevant or not. but we were talking about crop producing regions one day, and he pipes up with, yeah, i have a lot of friends that live in wenatchee, and they grow a lot of barley there...the whole time im thinking to myself, hunh, thats funny, pretty sure ive spent my whole life there and never seen a barely farm! :) its been nothing if not entertaining.
anyways, thats about all for now.
