Sorry,

Hey I am sorry for starting to make this a two person conversation. Anyway it has been snowing on and off over the past week but nothing really sticks. We had an ice storm on Sunday and that got formation canned but we still had class. Things are going fairly well, I like my chemistry class better (more fire) and I think I should be able to do quite well this semester. They put the price of the coin laundry up 25 cents so I had to pay 50 cents more than I planned but they still didn't fix the free dryer (1 quarter makes it go forever) so all was not lost! Delta co. had the highest GPA in the corps last semester and I beat the average freshmen (a 2.69), but, sadly didn't break the 3.0 cut off for a promotion to cadet private. My English professor is rather left leaning and like to cut himself off from the news, which he claims is controlled by the few, (he says he liked the slower times in the 70's) so I said that with things like blogger we are more than ever eradicating the saying "freedom of the press for those that can afford one." (I also mentioned that if you stay out of current events you end up sidelined and irrelevant (after class)). He said he used to be interested in politics and current events but he feels as though everyone lies and that you can't get truth because there is no definite thing (basically he is a relativist). I said that a). you must check your stories before believing them and b). Truth is the only weapon against lies, pulling out of the arena doesn't solve the problem, it encourages it.
So yeah, My art history class is in the High Renaissance right now and I love it, Michaelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael, all the greats. And yes Amy I will have a massive text book when this is all said and done! I talked to my teacher a little
about what was going to be on the test and quizzes and I mentioned that Amy was in France and she was like "oh wow, you should go visit her and see all the great works! that must be so cool!" So I want to have a guided tour some day ;)

Hey Nathaniel, are you alive? Does dad still read this with regularity? What is Philip doing?

Oh and I would like to go to Maryland over spring break if that is OK with you Nathaniel and Mom/Dad?

P.S. It is really cold down here, and windy, and I think I am going to quit the corps after this year.

And here are some Pictures!

Me!
The view out my peep hole!
My roommate!
