Update from the west

awww man.  I wrote this last night and then the computer crashed, and it was deleted.  Had I been able to actually post, I would have totally beat Abby to responsibility.  But yet again, I fail.

So anyway, we are here in Oregon.  Our apartment is OK, but as previously mentioned, kind of way too close to strip malls for me.  So I'll get through a semester and then try to move to a cute house in the woods somewhere.  Oregon is beautiful.  We went to the beach on Sunday, and last weekend, we went hiking and swimming.  I think Nick's getting tired of me forcing him to do things, though :)  I think Ziggy handled the move OK, but I can tell he misses having people around.  And I miss 'all ya'll' a lot.  I have some videos that I took of the trip out, and I'll try to take a few more of Eugene and send them all to you guys, so you can see it.

School:  So...I left DC so early to come here and take a summer class.  UO is on a trimester schedule (more on that later), so the fall term doesn't start until mid-Sept.  But the summer course I was told to sign up for is actually way, way advanced (as in, they're translating Caesar), which I'm not up to, yet.  So I dropped it and am doing nothing until the fall term.  And now that schedule is all fucked up, so I'm figuring that out, bugging several profs who now think I'm an idiot, and generally being incompetent.  So... not much new there :)  Hopefully, I'll get everything worked out soon.  I'll keep you guys posted.

OK.  And my schedule...  Actually, I'll post it as a comment on Abby's post, so it can all be together in one place.

I love and miss you guys so, so much.
