ROAD TRIP!!!
alright, since phil and tracey both expressed an interest, i think it would be a cool idea to get a group going to the intersection for this jazz thing. if i had any money, i'd say we could do dinner or something as well. since i don't have money i won't be doing any such thing, but for those of us who do, it's certainly a possibility.
here's the info (off of sectionlive.com):
Monday, February 5
THE MONDAY JAZZ SERIES
Featuring GROOVE MERCHANT
IN THE FRONT LOUNGE
FREE! 7pm - 9pm.
i'll plug it on my show tomorrow night as well.
and also, i may forget somehow between now and then. hopefully somebody will remind me, so i'm not a total asshole for ditching on my own party.

so, i guess there's a free jazz show at the intersection, monday nights from 7-9. i'm strongly tempted to check it out.
winter camping is this weekend. i'm super-pumped about that.
in other news, it's hella-cold.

Well it's kind of been a while. It's so hard to get up at 6:30 every morning. I am not used to this yet. Definitely not getting enough sleep. School is going well. Caleb is doing very well. He was weighed yesterday by the nurse and he weighs a whopping 12 lbs. 10 oz. now. He's in the 50% percentile. And he's 24 inches long, he's in the 75% percentile. I think he's going to be very tall. He's just a happy little boy, always smiling and laughing and cooing. He talks so much. And he's a good cuddler.
Other than that things have been good. I'm going to go buy an elliptical in a couple days, I am so excited. I've lost 10 pounds in a few weeks. yay.

there is a new addition to the crew, as katie booms is now my co-dj.
also, there is a new time and place. it is wednesday nights, 10 to 11 pm, at http://www.thewhale.org/
if anyone has any questions, just say the word.

first week back on the horse. so far it's been a good ride.
i'm taking calculus, media production I, audio production I, speech, and weight training.
calc is cool. it's nice to have math again. too bad my prof is so dry.
media I should be cool, probably my hardest class. but i get to make movies, right. and my professor is pretty cool.
audio I is my favorite class ever. i'm seriously more excited about this class than i have been about anything before. flippin' sweet. and i'm taking it with my advisor, who happens to be my dad's friend from river city. it's totally awesome.
speech is going to be arduous, but my professor is nice. she's seriously a sweetie.
weight lifting is pretty much what you'd expect. again, cool prof.
that's about it.
i've gotten up at about 8:30 every day this week. and i have to get up at 8 tomorrow.
i'm sore, i'm tired, and i'm ready for a nap. but i don't get a nap. that's cool though. i made muffins. muffins fix everything.

Sooo... Back at school. Early. I got up at 6:30 this morning! And my first class was only a half hour long. And my second class doesn't start until 10:30. And I'm excited about pottery tonight with Becca!
In other news...
Caleb is 11 weeks old today, where does the time go?
And....
He started sucking his thumb! It's so adorable! He's gotten really good at it overnight. Yesterday he tried and tried and then overnight he got the hang of it. This morning on the monitor I heard "smack smack smack" and I knew exactly what he was doing and it made me smile. :-)

i'm kind of bothered by this grade problem
fixing the german thing would boost my semester GPA to about 2.8, and my cumulative to about 3.25. i would be okay with that. but right now they're sitting at 2.5 and 3.18 respectively, and i'm just not as cool with that.
i know it's pointless details, but i think it's a big enough deal to be concerned.
or maybe it's just the fact that i despise being lied to and taken advantage of. honestly, that's probably the lion share of it.

final grades
sweet. apparently i kicked a little bit more ass than i was expecting:
i got a 99 on my image & sound final, and a B+ in the class.
i got a 96 on my media production modes final, and a B+ in the class.
in the not kicking so much ass:
i got a 79 on my german final and a B- in the class. i'm confused by a couple of her marks though... but even still, i did kinda flub on the exam.
i got an A on my honors final, no word yet on how i did overall, which can't be good.
anyway. that's all i've got. hope everyone else got satisfactory marks. and don't forget, it's up to you to determine what falls under the heading of "satisfactory".
Edit:
CFV 123: B+
CFV 124: B+
GER 201: C-
HNR 233: C
HNR 234: B-
German says C- and not B- like i was expecting.
i sent her an email immediately. i only hope it's not too late. aside from that, honors was a little better than i expected. i figured on Cs for both of them.

this music is seriously magical, in a way that nothing else is.
you can just get lost in it. lost only in your mind, maybe, but the music is the catalyst.
and it has been that way for hundreds of years.

Yesterday we took Caleb to get his portraits done! That was fun. They turned out really cute. Oh, I found out what Charlie got me for Christmas! We're going to Grand Beach Resort in Traverse City (where we went on our honeymoon) for New Years Eve. It's so pretty up there! Caleb got weighed the other day, he is now about 10 lbs. 5 oz. and 21 3/4 in. long! Okay, here are the pics:
This one is going in our Christmas cards:

no matter what i do, i'm bound to have somebody pissed at me.
it has always been the case. i've posted about it before on here.
but you would think that after years of pissed off people i would have some sort of response.
i have none.
