• SO MUCH WORK to do. at the beginning of this semester, the Wheaton College president spoke in chapel about "Camp Wheaton" -- the excitement of coming to college, and the feeling of being at summer camp all year long, and the reality that that feeling ends as soon as the homework starts piling up and the temperature drastically drops. all of the freshmen were nervously laughing in their seats, and everyone else was unabashedly laughing and thinking to themselves, "Yeah, the freshmen have no idea. Just wait." the freshmen probably toured Wheaton's campus in May, which is pretty much a complete misrepresentation of what life here is like during our six month winters. well, the winter season may not have begun yet, but trust me when i say that Camp Wheaton ended about the third day of classes for at least all of the upperclassmen i know. i know my roommates and i wish there were at least 27 hours in a day.

  on another note, last night's soccer game was fun...sorry, calvin students, but our men's team took the victory. i was supposed to go on a long run today, but i am still battling a cold and a bit of a fever, and according to tebbe, it's best to chill. this weekend is officially dedicated to my JUNIOR RESEARCH PAPER (twilight zone music enters here) -- that dreaded thing required of all history majors. it's due this friday (gasp!) and i think i still need to add several pages to it. oh vay.
