Hrm. I think the reason my journal is so emotional and whiny is that I never write when I'm stable. Which is why I'm writing right now. Or something. 'Cause I realized that and I wanted to point it out. Even though I'm not emotional right now.

So. Life is busy but fine. I mean, stuff goes wrong, stuff goes right, right? Guys suck, school's great, work's kinda in between....

So I'll be home for Thanksgiving. I don't know yet exactly when I'll be getting home and when I'll be leaving, but I've got to see everyone over Thanksgiving weekend because I won't be home for Christmas. At all. I'm going to Corpus Christi, Texas, to visit my grandparents.... Some of you will remember when I found out that my grandma has cancer.... And I'd like to spend some time with her and get to know her while I still can, because I realized recently that I don't know anything at all about my grandparents, and I think that's really sad. So I won't be in Reno at all over Christmas break. I won't be home at all between Thanksgiving and Easter.

I miss all you Reno people. Make plans to see me over Thanksgiving? Especially you, and you, and you. Oh, and you. You too. Grr, it's going to be a busy weekend.

Anyway, that's all I've got for now.

I started listening to Christmas music a few weeks ago and got yelled at for it ("It's not even Halloween yet!"), but now that it's November I think I'm going to go listen to it again.

Hey Kara, would you take two seconds out of your day and help me out? All you gotta do is go to this link and enter the words "The University of Idaho" then click submit.
If you are really feeling motivated...do the same thing for UNR.

This is for TheFaceBook which is a directory service that has gotten press from the NY Times, CNN.com, and Time Magazine. It has over 50 schools on there including the Ivy League schools and tons of state schools like Colorado State, Oregon, Michigan, Oklahoma, etc. There are even some community colleges on there!

However....there isn't any UNR or UIdaho and I'm trying to get both of them on there.

Thanks!

BTW...UC Santa Cruz is already on thefacebook.com.

I'm so jealous.

lol.

"When Mark Zuckerberg, a junior at Harvard, introduced thefacebook.com in February, he never imagined the site soon would have 180,000 registered users at 37 colleges and universities. In addition to listing e-mail addresses, cell-phone numbers and screen names, facebook profiles allow you to list the courses you're taking, which clubs you're involved in and your summer plans. It's the ultimate tool for finding someone to borrow lecture notes from or for figuring out whose floor to crash on while you follow Phish cross-country. Kate Stanchik, a junior at Harvard, says it's easy to spend hours looking up friends—and scouting out peers who share your passion for four-square. If all goes as planned, thefacebook will hit nearly 70 new campuses come September."

"Thefacebook encourages students at some 37 universities to create personal profiles that include a picture, basic information, and extended biographical details such as political views, hobbies, and interests. Once they have signed up, students can request other members at any university to be their friends -- and once those approached have accepted the request, they can view each other's profiles and friends. Other handy features include the ability to send messages, to search for other signed-up students in your classes, and a reminder of friends' upcoming birthdays. "
