New wheels and do

     Got a new Chevy Sonic last week.  The turbo version rocks.  Also, been toting around all this hair way too long.  It wasn't getting any browner, and it wasn't getting any thicker, so away it went!  I catch myself running my hand around on the back of my head to feel the burr.  My hair hasn't been this short since I was 10.
     I've noticed I sit in the same part of the room  in all my classes.  This one girl who happens to sit right in front of me in Old Testament has Psych right after me;  I was late getting out of psych today, and she came in and, you guessed it, we used the same seat.  If I get very far in psych, I want to do a study of where people sit, to see if all people do that, and I wonder if it would correlate to other things like what color car we drive.  I'm gonna ask Beth tomorrow if she likes red cars.
     U of O is uber big on writing papers.  I average maybe 3 a week.  I'm glad though.  I can tell you all you ever wanted to know about APA, MLA, citing sources, etc. etc.  I know you couldn't tell it from this blog.  I started off trying to write it all neat and stuff, but I do so much of that at school, I think I'll just make this quick and messy.
     Really digging my classes.  But it's really awesome seeing all the different attitudes the other students are bringing.  Especially in Old Testament and Ethics.  There is some serious difference of opinion going on, and, with some at least, some real soul searching.  Gotta admit, I've looked at some issues I haven't looked at in a while.
     Yesterday I spilled coffee all in the seat of my new car and on my pants.  Went the whole day looking like I had shat myself.  Went to the Wednesday convo (chapel), and it was the best one ever.  This guy named Marquis Hunt played sax on about 4 songs, and preached.  He was a good preacher, but man he was smooth on the sax.  Best convo ever.  When I went to get my convo card stamped (I have to get 8 this semester, thus I go to chapel) , I didn't have it.  I left my wallet in the car because it had coffee all over it.  But the convo was worth it.
     Eleanor Clift from McLaughlin Group spoke Spoke Monday night at school.  She was really awesome.  She spoke about the upcoming election.  She was fair to both sides, but you could tell she leaned left.
     Gonna try to make a "Project Poet" some Tuesday night.  It's what everybody talks about, but it's at 9:30, and I live 40 minutes away.  There is also what they call "Last Lecture" series, where different professors give a speech as if it was the last one they would ever give.  Friday night at 7:30 is one I think I will go to.  Dr. Van Scoy?  not sure if that's the name.  something like that.
