So sorry I haven't posted in a while, I sort of forgot about this until Daddy reminded me, but I'm back at least. It took me some time to go through all the posts but it sounds like everyone is having quite the adventures. (Except for Marley, Lauren, and Bo, who, despite many invitations, still reject the Ross blog. Out of the will, all of them.)
Classes are going fine, except the homework load is really starting to increase. Right now I am supposed to be writing one of two essays due in the next couple days, but I haven't managed to get around to it yet. The Spanish test that everyone (read: Daddy and Grandma Ann) seems so interested in was fine, I got an 89. The only other grade I have gotten back in any class is my first economics homework, which all the other kids were freaking out about because they had never gotten such low scores (casual glances at surrounding papers showed lots in the 40-60 % range), but me and Patrick got A's. No biggie.
Intramural soccer has been great so far, there are two different leagues (mens and coed), both of which I am part of, so I've been doing lots of that. Although I must admit, I choose napping over playing every once in a while. Truly, my mother's son.
Alex is doing great, I've been keeping him away from the blind girl though, their first encounter wasn't the best. He has been reading the blog a lot, although it looks like he hasn't posted to it yet. I'll have to remind him tonight.
Grady- Exit Through the Gift Shop is an awesome movie. Sorry, film. Banksy is a very cool guy. Its also great to hear about your expanding knowledge of college football. You catch that Bama-Arkansas game yesterday? I bet Grandpa Jim did, anyway. I also did some book shopping recently, with the gift certificate I got from Ann Zehner for graduation. I got Brave New World, a suggestion from Gavin, and Infinite Jest. It is 981 pages and I'll probably never get around to reading it, but Rolling Stone said that David Foster Wallace is supposed to be the greatest writer of our generation so I decided to get it. Also, having a thousand page book in my room makes me look smarter.
Cailin- I hope England is wonderful. When I first saw those pictures you posted, I thought, "Uh oh, Cailin is already spending her first night in jail", but I'm relieved to see that it is just where you will be staying. Its nothing like the spacious luxury of Stewart Hall.
Everyone else, hope all is well, I'll check in again soon!
I think Alex will be on the blog soon!
