Greetings to all. I am finding I am not technologically saavy enough to do this, but I will continue to try. I have been home for about a week and its been rainy every day up until today. At first I wasn't into it, but then I got in my rainy day creative mode. I wanted to make some belts for this skirt/dress I bought right before I left, so I went to the fabric store and got stuff. I went to the sewing machine in the attic and found all these unfinished projects and some cool scrap fabric so I made three pretty cool shirts but am still trying to figure out how to make the belts clasp. I spent a nice afternoon wandering around in the state forest too. It started off as a run but there was too much cool stuff so I kept stopping to climb boulders and cross streams and I shimmied up a fallen tree that was propped up against another and climbed all the way to the top! I have one friend who is here but she has been doing a lot of family stuff, and has a lot of senior friends so I have only seen her once. We went to Kimballs (DELICIOUS- I got coffee and cookies) and then watched The Office and Lost, which I enjoyed so much that I have already watched the first ten episodes online. Today is sunny so I went and got a gym membership and have been gardening the rest of the day. Alex is back from Israel and wants to see me so we might meet up today, but its gonna be pretty awkward at first. I am also trying to read For Whom the Bell Tolls by Hemingway in an attempt to become more literarilly (ya I made that word up) cultured, but I have only gotten through thirty pages all week, so as much as I hate to, I may ditch this book for something more intriguing. Any suggestions people (Nick?).
Also, is there a way to get notified when people post? Is that what subscribing to the blog means? And Senga my mac mail that you set up receives mail but won't let me send it. I need you guys to help me figure out things like this, I don't know what I will do. Nick thats good that you are staying busy and back into frisbee. Have you heard back from any schools yet? Seb, the internship sounds really cool, thats awesome you get to do things that are actually important on a larger scale.
Hope everyone is enjoying themselves, and I apologize for this being impossibly long.

What what, awesome. I'm glad you figured out how to do something with your time. I was quite alone too during the first week home, but played video games instead... lame (i did go biking everyday though but still).
I like long posts. the clothing making stuff sounds cool, (if possible) you should try to do some of that leatherworking stuff that the guy in into the wild does to make a sick belt.
Good books - will include in my next post, same with colleges
