SteevAK

Last night I stayed up until about seven I think. I can’t really remember. Just chillin’ wit my homies. There’s a guy on my floor called John Wesche who can really tell a story. He has the coolest sound effects and great little idiomatic phrases that just bring his topics to life. I actually enjoyed listening to him and another guy carry on for nearly two hours about football. Now, football really ain’t my thing, and I didn’t understand half of what John was talking about; but, man, he is so cool when it comes to stories, I just sat and listened, throwing away precious, beautiful hours of sleep. Oh well. I thought it was a fair exchange. We talk about the craziest stuff.

Today, I got my biggest paycheck ever from the university. Mucho grande by my standards. I will be running into town with Dan (if he wakes up from his nap), to cash some checks and go to the Tooth and Nail Store. It’s always cool bussing into town and watching all the various denizens of Seattle interact with each other. I hope I don’t spend too much money while I’m in town though. I’m saving up for something, but I really don’t know what. Something big? Right now, my main problem is cash. I have quite a bit stashed in the bank, but nothing on hand. This can be a good thing and a bad thing. It’s good because it limits how much I can easily spend, and it’s bad thing because I always need somebody to spot me on the late night Denny’s runs.

Christmas break is less than a month away. It seems so close suddenly. Not that I’m complaining. It will be nice to go back up to Alaska and visit the ole’ family. I’ll be able to hang out with my way cool little brother, and mooch off of my ever so loving parents (thanks Mom and Dad, you rock). I’ll also be able to see friends that I haven’t seen in too long of a time. I have some catch up to do with my high school buddies.

Tip of the day: Don’t got to Denny’s on a Saturday night; it is very busy.
