I moved in to my corner room on Loose 2nd Saturday, August 19 but I’m still at that point in my college life where I check my email seven times daily and cry when I read a letter from home. The thought of being here for four years is enough to make someone want to honor their eight complimentary visits to the town shrink— but I’m slowly learning that Grinnell has what I need and I’m not at all sorry I’m here.

Sex Toy Raffle


This is how I feel about spending my Thanksgiving at Grinnell with all the international students who can't make it home either. My cousins, Kavik and Kira will be taking my place this year at Thanksgiving in Bellingham.

I've been talking to Kavik and Kira online pretty regularly. Yes, I understand Kavik is an unusual name. I decided to post this message because I just remembered that they will be at my house, sleeping in my bed, and eating my turkey this Thanksgiving. Kavik is a freshman at Seattle University and Aunt Jane and Kira are flying from Pennsylvania to eat with my fam. I want to come home for Thanksgiving. Probably don't tell my parents. They can find out when they read this.

Professor Alfonso handed back our midterms plus another essay she's been grading for the last three weeks in class today. I did pretty well. I'm convinced, however, she didn't actually read the papers because as I was rereading my work, I came across whole sentences that made absolutely no sense. I know she can read because every class, she summarizes the readings from the night before for 50 minutes solid. Good news everyone, Alfonso resigned and she's getting the hell out of my life. I wrapped up Newspaper stuff pretty early tonight. David puts his iTunes on shuffle every week and it managed to catch every song by U2 twice. I made sure to add all the "Love Your Body Week" events in the News calendar, including the girls-only masturbation workshop being held in the lounge of my dorm at 8 P.M., Tuesday. They're raffling off sex toys. I'm beside myself.

Next semester, I'm switching meal plans. I really only eat 14 meals per week. I also want to take a sculpting class. I can't believe we register for classes in two weeks. Well, kind of I can.
I have a lot of crap on my bed right now. I think I'll just lay on top/around it when I go to sleep in 30 seconds.
