The Other Shoe

So, we are officially three days into fall term, even though yesterday technically didn't count because I didn't have any classes. And so far, all three of my classes are going surprisingly well. Which makes me nervous. I'm one of those people who doesn't like it when things get too easy. I get nervous waiting for the other shoe to drop, and it will, sooner or later. I'd better make sure my feet are covered.

Okay, that was awful...

Idle tidbits:

- It seems that Krispy Kreme has changed its hours from midnight to 11 pm. Which puts a serious crimp in us BCMers plans to continue the grand tradition of hanging out there after TNT. I've only been a couple of times, but every time, I have enjoyed it. So we'll likely have to come up with a new late-night tradition. Stay tuned for future updates.

- I'm going home this weekend. Whee! :)

- 72% of Americans on an MSN poll say President Bush's speech from the French Quarter this evening did nothing to regain the administrative ground he's lost. I say the question in itself is pointless. Words can't rebuild lives and cities ruined by a catastrophic hurricane. It's the actions that count; going out and making it happen.

- Clemson and South Carolina will play their rivalry game on Thanksgiving weekend next year and for at least the following four years. My reaction? A Thanksgiving tailgate feast seems like a fast, cheap way to celebrate. Here's hoping we'll keep the family together with our usual tradition. With the television turned on, of course. :)

- Chat room sounds & emoticons = fun, yet distracting

Verse of the Day: "But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life." - Jude 1:20-21
