well, folks.... it's been too long, i know.... i would love to say that my excuse is that i'm hitting the books and trying to be as studious as possible.... however, that is not quite the truth. the truth is that it's hard to get back into "study" mode... tackle all the wonderful reading assignments and get a head start on all the various papers and books. one of my suitemates is fresh out of college and let me tell you... that girl studies! she doesn't stop and she is making me feel like a slacker.... i had to set her straight though and tell her that if she wasn't going to slow down she was going to give me an ulcer just by being around her. so the deal is that several of us "older" folks will try to slow her down and remind her to have fun and she'll keep us on our toes in regards to studying.... sigh.... i love being back in school.
"stop the war - promote peace" demonstration
so, admittedly, this is a new experience for me...an important one, i think :) .... several of us decided to head down to the local brattleboro peace demonstration in support of the large demonstration in washington, d.c. that many of us weren't able to attend.... it was my first demonstration.... i can't remember having attended one in holland or for that matter actually having ever really seen one in holland, mi. indeed there were only about 35 of us down there.... and besides the occasional raised middle finger or upside down peace symbol, people honked and gave us an encouraging thumbs-up. needless to say.... it was a whole new experience for this midwestern girl! hahaha.... no worries.... at this point i don't plan on bringing these skills back to holland, though perhaps i should...

You look at home with that peace sign in your hand. Yes, there were protests in Holland, at the park right down the street from campus. Next year, I'll make my own sign and we'll go together! Miss you.
