A flibertigibbet, a whill of a whisp, a clown

While chatting with robby this evening, something was once again brought to my attention. He mentioned that people from oregon, new york, arkansas and other far away places have meandered onto his site. But there are a few places I never hear people hailing from. This begs the question: is there anyone living in montana, wisconsin or wyoming? I honestly have no relatives there, and know no one that has lived there/knows anyone else there (friend of a friend). If you are out there in the wide world of the internet, please give us a sign. Some form of digital crop circles, smoke signals, even morse code.

or you could leave a comment.

With a match that's mean and some gasoline, you won't see me anymore

Orientation begins in six days. I feel as though I should be better prepared, but everything seems so open ended. Hearing from various attendees (ie. my roommate, pirtle, older students) that advisors will be helpful gives me much confidence. I'm worried about class availability and getting the units I need, though. I even had a dream about my schedule two nights ago:

After partaking in the normal orientation events, I reached the final day, when I had to register. I got to the building and found that the line was somewhat long, so I waited. When I logged onto the computer, the only classes with space left were auto mechanics and advanced european economics (strange hybrid of simpson and carothers?) Needless to say, I was horrified and woke up feeling quite uneasy.

I resisted the urge to throw away my copy of 'jihad vs. mc world' today. After removing it from a pile of rubbish on my floor, I realized that some class might require it and I would need to actually read it.
