Readers with Brigham
Here's a group of Loyal Readers hanging around with Brigham Young. He's the bronze-colored guy in the back. Picture taken during yesterday's drop-off session. Part of my famous Statue series.
Extreme Short Shrift tonight. It's late already.
Visited Loyal Reader Number One once more. We dropped off his suit and visited for a little while. He's having a great time, has met lots of people, and is already incredibly busy. Have a great semester, LRN1! We'll miss you. We miss you already.
Also visited Loyal Reader Number Four's aunt and her husband (which I guess makes him her uncle, or at least step-uncle, but since her original uncle, who passed away unexpectedly a while ago, wasn't a blood relative either, the current uncle is just as much an uncle as the late uncle. Or something like that.) and had a great time. He's very friendly, witty, and a genuinely nice man. She's also a family favorite.
Otherwise, slept, ate, and relaxed. Appropriate for vacation. Worked on our hosts' desktop computer a little more. There's still more of that to finish up tomorrow, along with a good amount of car maintenance I hope to accomplish. We'll see. There's also a visit and lunch with LRN4's dad and stepmom and LRN4's dinner out with friends from Virginia, which I may have mentioned I'm not invited to. Sheesh.
Anyway. See you tomorrow.

I've gotten pretty well settled in here. Today I walked around campus and found all of my classrooms. None of them were difficult. Only one of them was unlocked, but all I really needed was to see the door. Most of my classes are pretty close to each other. The only one that will be a bit of a walk is my chemistry class in the Benson building. I've got to walk to the far south end of campus and then back for lunch before Comp Sci on the south side of the library. Oh well - it's good for me.
I'm feeling the difference the altitude makes climbing stairs and so forth. It's been a long time since we lived in Denver.
I think my roommate is finally really truly moved in. I've been talking to him for a few minutes now. He's a nice guy.
According to the people in the CS department, if you're really on top of the game, professors will sometimes hire freshmen as research assistants. That would be very nice. I'm going to shoot for that as my on-campus job. They also said they pay very competitively because off-campus jobs are paying $15-20 an hour.
I have a controversy of my very own! While writing David Crockett a letter using DearElder.com, I saw an ad for this website. They advertise the product as perfect for anyone who misses the elder in question badly. The debate is this: How pathetic is that on a scale from 1 to 10?
Ten.
Wow! There's so much to comment on! I love the lazy way to success--and I think he's on the right track. I agree with Mark that the cardboard stand-up is incredibly lame, and I'm very excited about the possibility of you getting a research job with your department!
