Rocktober

I hope I don't get sued for using this as my blog entry title. Apparently Denver is facing some copywrite infringement issues since using the term. I guess someone got to it first.

So. . . this is the first time I have even lived in a city that had a professional baseball team (I don't count the San Antonio Mission - they weren't major league. . . and their mascot was a puffy taco!) I am beginning to think I am good luck. The two years around the time I lived in San Antonio, the Spurs were national champions. The year I lived in Washington the Seahawks went to the Superbowl. And now the Rockies are in the World Series. Everyone should want me to move to their city.

As every good Denverite did, I made an attempt to get World Series Tickets. Big surprise - I was not successful. I did, however, make the local news. Here's a quote from a 9News article:

"Seven students in a University of Denver class weren't as lucky as they were continually booted out of the system. They say their luck seemed fitting, though, since they were in an "International Disaster Psychology" class at the time."

I guess I jinxed myself by not taking class more seriously. I swear that's the only time I haven't paid attention!

Good Morning. . .

This is what I woke up to this morning. It was in the 70's yesterday.

Kickball and Beards

This morning on my way to the gym I was accosted by some teachers taking weekend classes to become principals. They somehow roped me and friends into playing kickball with them. I have rediscovered a love for this sport. It was good times.

I am also proud to report that my good friend Luke has won in two divisions for a beard competition he entered. Go Luke.

Ah Ha!

Finally - I just got internet in my home. What an amazing step for my household. I hopeful that this will equate to consistent updating from now on. Mal sehen.

Back from New Mexico

This past weekend I went to Socorro, New Mexico, to visit one of my mod mates, Sarah. She and her fiance', Luke, just bought a house. I helped them move their entire household into the new place. After all the work was done, we spent a day hanging out in Albequerque. Besides the heat it was really fun to see them, their new place, and a new state.

I cannot deny my readers. . .

Given the overwhelming demand for the exploits of this broad to be continually shared, I have succumbed and will continue writing. I am currently back in Denver (see right) getting settled in and preparing for classes to start. Woohoo.

Goodbye, Bosnia

So I have successfully left Bosnia. Dee and I took a bus to Split, a ferry from Split to Ancona, Italy, and finally a train to Rome. From there, I joined Maria and Lauren. We trained it to Salerno, ferried from there to Positano, eventually ferried back to Naples, and parted ways. Since then I have taken a train to Rome, and from there to Munich. My plane home flies out of this amazing city. Before leaving, I will spend a couple of days with my great VS housemates, Jenny and Raphael. See you soon, US.
