thursday means it's almost the weekend

Today is Thursday - the best day of the week, at least, in my opinion. Not only is it almost the weekend but it's also a great TV night. Not only does is The Office on but starting tonight is Supernatural! I say I watch Supernatural for the content - American urban legends - but in reality it's for 3 simple things:
1) The Metallicar (a 1967 Chevy Impala)
2) The classic rock soundtrack
3) The attractive main characters

Other than that, this week has been pretty mellow. Last week consisted of 2 papers, 1 rewrite and 1 exam. With only 1 exam this week I can see the light of October break. Ahhhh, I'm excited.

Last weekend was Parent's Weekend so it was a mellow weekend on campus. This weekend, though, is Alumni Weekend. That means that this week was Homecoming...I think. We're all proud to represent Beloit, here, but we forget we have sports teams (sorry about that...). It also means that things are really happenin' this week and weekend. Tonight is another band night at C-Haus (the bar) for student's bands and this weekend there are some dance parties at a frat and sorority.


I found this on the sidewalk outside a dorm. It's a good reminder.

I'm sitting here in Admissions trying to locate the USB port for this computer. Where the heck is it? Apparently, this computer doesn't have one even thought it seems to be only a few years old. I've got some lovely photos on my flash drive but can't get them off there onto the computer!

Anyway, I'll continue.

[EDIT: I added photos!]

I recieved two packages last week, on the same day. One was a new bubble umbrella (clear with a blue stipe) and the other was a care package from home. We have 5 apple trees, a pear tree, an asian pear tree, 2 plum trees and a necatrine tree in the yard so my parents send a box of apples and pears. I've given some away (like to my RA, Connor, for helping me carry the box) and others I've eaten.

I love autumn in Wisconsin, there are so many more colors than at home (silly evergreen trees!). In Botany today we took a field trip around campus to see some of the trees! Most of them are still green but a few have been turing beautiful shades of orange and yellow.

Alas, I'm also lacking in a beautiful picture of the trees. But I'll add some tomorrow or later tonight! Pretty leaves!

I can see from the blog counter that lots of people have been visiting the blogs from all over the country and the world! It's really nice to know people are reading because for a few weeks there it seemed like only the other SOIs were reading the blogs. That and our parents (Hi Mom and Dad!).
