awkward events

I would like to tell you that all of these events happened today:

1) I fully support the idea of walking around campus shirtless. The past two days over by HECC around 1:50 I've seen this very muscular, yet pale, man walking around without a shirt. It's definitely hot enough outside and when you have 35 minutes to get to class why not take the opportunity to tan.

2) I can really tell that 'Howdy' is dying. Today walking over by the ILSB, I decided I'd be the cool upperclassman and say "Howdy" to a girl and her mom. She was wearing her name tag for NSC and I thought it would be something kind for me to do. The response from the mother went a little like this, "Oh, hi. I mean, wait, hello. No, no... howdy.."

3) "Kim, you look really tired today." "Oh, I think 7 hours this first session was a bad idea." "Well, Matt over here is taking 14 this first session. Have a few words with him." I was definitely roasted.

I took this picture when I was in Austin a few weeks ago with my family. It was an attempt to watch the famous bats fly out from under Congress Avenue. The attempt failed, needless to say. At least my picture of Congress Avenue turned out nice and pretty. I even captured two love birds going down Town Lake, or Lady Bird Lake, which ever you prefer to call it.

This is my first summer spent away from home. It is also my first summer to take 5 week summer sessions at Texas A&M University. 'A-a-a Whoop!' If I knew where to start in describing my anger towards the financial aid department, and how I want to punch them all in the face right now, I would. But, I don't even know where to begin. You're the lucky ones!

To go a long with my first time theme, I'm also in the process of packing up my room. This room belongs to the very first apartment that I've ever lived in without my family. Drew and Jessica found me an amazing dresser and bed from Ikea and I cannot wait to set it up in my new place.

"Hey! You lookin' kinda cute; in that polka dot bikini, guuurl!"

If you ever need your soil analyzed feel free to let a girl know. I'm currently in a soil science class where the lab consists of playing with soil to determine the porosity, bulk density, particle density, and what percentages of clay, silt, and sand that make it up. This is my first agriculture class at A&M. I'm glad I'm getting to experience hands on what the A in A&M stands for.

Until next time,

Kim
