Lather my butt

I'm trying to think of some stuff that happened today. We ended class with an activity where they went from station to station in groups doing different magnetic poems on the boards. They seemed to dig that. One of my favorite lines was in the poem about Respect. It went something like, "tenderize his moist respectful pole." See how they slipped that in there? "respectful pole." Nice. Another one says, "lather my butt." God is that poetic.

Anywho, I went and explored a little bit today. I found a whole bunch of cool streets like state street in Madison, only a bajillion times more expensive and much nicer stores. It was cool, though. I think Kelly will like it a lot.

My ma called last night and asked me if she should drive my car out here and then fly back to Wisconsin. I'm not sure how I feel about that yet. I mean, we have a free parking space at my place and I could, theoretically, use it to drive to school. But, a car in town is unnecessary. There's nowhere I could drive. Cars are awful here. I could use it to get groceries from Costco and do my laundry. I could also use it to go to Walden Pond (which I did the other day. It was AWESOME! Easily the cleanest, nicest lake I've ever seen or been to. It was great to swim in, too.) or the mountains or like Connecticut and stuff. So, I dunno. It's a hassle, though, trust me. I suppose I'm leaning toward having it, cuz it's not like I'm paying to park it. It could sit there for a year and I guess it wouldn't be a loss. I also could drive back for longer breaks and save a couple hundred on air fare. I think I just convinced myself to have a car out here. Well, whatever.

I can't really think of anything else I did today. It was pretty hot during the day but it stormed something fierce so it's cooled off now a bit. Shit. I'm forced to talk about the weather. As you can see by the time, I didn't go out, I just hung out around the apartment. Cleaned up the kitchen.

Tomorrow there's a party at another TEPees place celebrating mine, Mark's, and Michelle's birthdays this weekend. When I went shopping earlier, I went with Dave and Mark (Mark wanted to go for his birthday or something). Mark's great. He's older, has been teaching for some time now and decided to go back to get his Master's. He's a funny dude. Super nice. I enjoy his company. The best part about him is his laugh. He makes a really cute face when he smiles. He was also one of the first people I met at TEP. We went to get lunch on the first day, I believe, and have been good friends since.

That's all for now.
