Classes and Skating

Week 1

Unfortunately, classes started on Monday. I'm not taking anything thats too exciting or difficult for that matter. I am, however, taking a U.S. history course that might be interesting from a New Zealand perspective. So far the format of the classes and lecture techniques are very similar to UW.

On Wednesday I went skating with some guys I meet on campus. We skated in a carpark (i.e. parking garage), it was really fun riding the lift up to the top and skting down. I also rode on my board sitting down for the first time, it was exhilerating. They also do some snowboarding so hopefully I can get a ride to the fields with them.

  2. hey al we got the second cutting of alfalfa baled never broke down or ran into the tractor with anything. that was different. your old man is getting the kubota tractor if i can remember to get the brakes fixed. been hot here and humid makes me think of the times when i lifted all the square bales while you watched my technique. i've been checking in on y0u but this is the first that i figured out how to write you. take care and don't be dumb leave that for your buddies.
