Made a mistake with the flip-flops today, but the weather deceived me! When I started out at 7:30 for my 8:00 class, it was understandably chilly. After class, it was foggy and freezing. When I got home at 11:45, I put on socks and bundled up in my afghan but at 1:30 when I had to go out again, it was once again a beautiful day. Weird.
Interesting things today: I saw a parade of at least 25 horse drawn buggies filled with old women waving white hankies. I have no idea what for…but they were having a good time.
And amidst a chorus of carhonks, I heard “MOOOOOOOOO!!!”, so it appears that somebody in Vina has a cow horn.
I love Thursdays even though they start early. My short stories class today was a lot of fun…I’ve decided that I love the professor. He’s nutty…but fun . He’ll tell these little jokes and sometimes we don’t get them at all, so he’ll just chuckle to himself but if by chance, somebody laughs a little bit, he’ll burst out laughing like he just realized “Wow! That really was funny, huh?” And then there was the time he called his middle finger “The Ministry of Health” and stuck it up his nose in the middle of a lecture…
Paula gave me the complete “Chronicles of Narnia” as a late birthday present! I’ve never read them before, so this should be interesting. I’m so glad that I have some light reading now…I haven’t read anything for fun in AGES. Light reading…haha…it’s a tome of like 700+ pages.
I’m thinking of going to Placilla for the weekend…gotta get out of the city and away from cow horns and buggy traffic…
Chronicles of Narnia is supposed to be good. I’m gonna try to read it all… after I finish the 2 series that I’m reading now…
: )
Hurry home!!
You write interesting things.. It sounds like you are having a great time. We all miss you here and we wonder when we will see you again with our going to Florida Nov 15th or so. Grandpa is getting COLD FEET when he thinks of the driving down there. TOO many cars. He thinks we should stay here where we MIGHT meet a car going into Hope. and we might not too. We look for Marge and Kendra this evening. Love, grandma and grandpa
