So one of my friends lives in an apartment neighbored by four German guys. We hung out with them last night, and I've got to say, I think it might seriously help me improve my German if I talk with native speakers now and then. We're going to play basketball with them on Sunday . . . come along if you feel like it.

I've got the 100 mile bike ride in Buena Vista coming up in about a month, on May 19th. My dad and I are doing it together, so I've been trying to work out enough to prepare. He rides our stationary bike at home for 99 minutes everyday, he told me. He is a man consumed, but it's a good example for me to follow.


I ordered graduation announcements. I looked it up, and I think I should be magna cum laude, as my GPA is listed at 3.778. The letter said cum laude, though . . . I guess it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.
