May 3rd: Computer Heaven

Hello everyone...I haven't forgotten about you.  My laptop has departed to computer heaven.  I'll let you know the funeral arrangements.  Sooo....I've been checking my email at an internet point near the East Gate of the campus.  The location is convenient, and it's cheap, but a lot of people smoke in here and the smell in here in general is not so great. :(  Some days worse than others.  At least it's here, though, I shouldn't complain.  After a couple of weeks of it, the cigarette smoke is starting not to get to me so bad. 

 

Anyhow, I was using a proxy on my computer to access my blog, which of course I don't have on this public computer. So, I've had plenty to write about and I'll try to catch you all up when I can, but I haven't been able to get on my blog.  I think I can email in a post, and that's what I'm trying to do here.  Of course, I can't add pictures.  After I get a new computer and get everything up and running, I'll go back and fill in the missing posts.  Please have patience, and check back in a week or two.  I will start posting regularly again when I can. 

 

Things are going pretty well here; it's about half way through the semester now.  In fact, it's Labor Day weekend here.  Most of the world celebrates Labor Day on May 1st; I don't know how we got ours in September.  Anyhow, a lot of the students have taken the opportunity to make a trip home or to get out and enjoy the first summery weather of the season.  It's been in the high eighties and sunny all weekend; it's starting to get hot!  We're supposed to have some thunderstorms over the next couple of days, which should cool things down a bit.

 

I've heard about all the flooding going on in middle Tennessee; I saw pictures on channel 4's website.  Amazing to get that much rain in so short a time.  I hope that all of you are doing okay.  Please be careful out there!
