well, I don’t have too much to write, but I DID apply for housing today, so thats pretty cool. For some reason I put it off for a while, but it feels so good to have it done. I hope to get the ‘ensuite’ at the Balaclava apts, they’re about a 5 min walk from campus.

Balaclava Apts in Sydney

These are the Balaclava Apartments...the one I'm hopin' to get...

Today was pretty crazy tho, i had to drive from EUG to CORV on I5 in a snow storm, the first storm of the year. SOO sketchy. I just kinda stayed behind a big truck and took it slow…it was my first solo snow drivin experience. I left from Katie’s birthday party in EUG with the fam telling me to go…to get home before the weather got bad. That felt crappy, and I felt immature leaving frustrated and a little pissed. They gave me water and snack bars to make sure I could survive if something happened…(I know the Alaskans would laugh at me).  I had the Trooper, so it wasn’t too bad, had 4-wheel drive but no chains, and didnt slip barely at all. 

We came back from Portland from the Jam earlier in the day and thats when the snow started…actually the nite before. dad was kinda freaked for drivin, and we had the chains on, but it was pretty chill. It dumped sno in Portland, but nothing in EUG. Pretty weird. And funny…we hadn’t had snow yet this year until now, the day we had to drive home from Portland…

 

Alright, I’ve got work tomorrow at 8 at VMAIL, and I didn’t want this to turn into just a general blog…aight, I’m out…….
