Some Quick Notes

So this post is a little old, but there are some funny quips in it that you might enjoy... it was supposed to be posted on  9/26

I am completely caught up to present time in the blog! Wahoo! Electricity is still out at the monastery and now the small backup generator used for evening mass is out as well so it is unlikely that many of my posts (for the forseable future) will be very long. As I stated at the beginning of this series of posts, life is going well. There are a couple of little humorous snipits of life that I will share with you now before I make you wait until next Wed for an update...

The football magazine that PopPop gave to me for the flight over here has become like a second Bible to me, I guard that thing with my life and have read it about 3 times over. Analyzing scores and schedules has become a main passtime of mine. That is how much I love college football.

The other day Colin and I were reading it and within about 5 seconds of sitting down Colin said "Oh Shit" with an absolute look of astonishment, jumped up and ran to the bathroom. I exploded with laughter and went to get him some tp, even he was laughing at the situation and the sudden urgency of nature calling. (I had his permission to post this)

That same night as fate would have it, there was a massive spider on the wall behind Colin. This thing was about the size of a silver dollar and freaking ugly. I notticed it during the final prayer and whispered to Colin, turn around slowly. He did and immediatley snapped forward and shook his head violently; I thought he was going to run out of the room. Turns out he has an immense case of arachnophobia! I giggled.

I think that's about it for now. The Huskers continue to give me hope and we are going to be 4-0 heading down to Manhatten on Thursday night! I am also reading some hype on a potential Hiesman candidate in Martinez? I picked a hell of a time to not be anywhere near a television! But anywho, go Huskers!

Oh and Mr. Swanson (haha, Tom) I would love to set something up with you for your class. I can't read my email right now which is why I am letting you know on here. But email me anyways with your ideas and I should be able to look them over next week!

Also dying chickens make the worst sounds ever! But no one here seems to be bother
