Shout Outs

A quick shout out to a few of you who sent amazing packages.
First to the Cullens, one of the best families in the world, thanks for the presents and the magazines!
To my brother and Campbell. Thanks for the mixes, books, and especially the pasta stuff. Those sauces will keep me happy for a long time.
Also to my mom, for the shorts and stuff.

Well, nothing big to report other than yesterday was St. Patrick's day and we hung out at Hard Wreck Cafe (one of the few bars at town) where we (not I) sang Kareoke and I had three White Russians (most milk I've had in a few weeks).

Tomorrow, Sunday, the WASC accredidation team visits, so everyone is cleaning, practicing their welcome dances, and preparing reports and meetings. This is what we've been getting ready for the entire year. So when this week is over, we'll be very very happy. There will be many local dances performed by the students tomorrow, so check my pictures soon.

One of these days I'll update my blog with some general information, such as "What A Typical Day is like" and just comparing life here to what life was like for me back home. Please keep emailing me questions so I have specific things to answer.

Thanks for the shout out, AJ! I'm glad all of your boxes arrived. It must have seemed like Christmas! Good luck on the accreditation. Let all of us know how it goes.
Love,
Mom

Woo! Shout out! Finally. It only took 21 years. That's cool that you celebrated St. Patrick's Day. Was the Hard Wreck Cafe an Irish pub, or just a bar with a clever name? And did you quote "The Big Lebowski" while drinking the white Russians? You better have. Cool. Ok, talk to you later.

AJ!
Glad you finally got the package, i only sent it on January 13th, so when you finally got it on March 16th, i was pleasantly surprised at the efficiency of the postal service. I am right now in the library, avoiding writing a paper looking at Pericles' funeral oration in Thucydides' "Peloponnesian Wars" through Aristotle's ideas of rhetoric. So, i got my loan, its now official, so within a week or so i should be getting my plane ticket, and then setting a definitive itinerary. Alright, well i'm going to get back to writing (starting) this paper...hmm...yes...yes...hmm...

I find it slightly ironic that on a holiday that celebrates the patron saint of Ireland, you drink White RUSSIANS. Oh well. You still rule.

Love the new pictures as well, and keep doing well in Micronesia.
