Northbrook

Wow.
It's been far too long since I posted. I'm happily ensconced here in Minnesota and loving college. I had a disapointment in that I didn't get into the orchestra or a few other things I was hoping for, but in reality it might have been a good thing becuase I have a lot of spare time that I didn't plan on and becuase I haven't been spending my life in the music building I got out and made some friends. Hmmm... that's the longest sentence I think i have ever created.

St Olaf is pretty awesome. As stated earlier, the food is actually palatable and is varied enough that it doesn't get old. I also have free access to a massive new athletic center which includes a 60 ft. natural rock wall. I have been getting much better at my climbing. We also have a brand new wind turbine on campus that provides 1/3 of our power. On the minus side, a week before I got here a massive hail storm swept the town blowing out every windshield within a 5 mile radius with softball sized hail. So... there are some really sad houses with massive holes in their roofs that are covered with tarps.

It is frickin COLD here. All those who are going down to cali or similar places know that I am freezing my butt off in september for hells sake. I want to just be like WTF? I feel like I am back in alaska.

Anyway, I am going to go now

miss you all
