Yep. It’s the middle of the week already.
Governor’s School is going well. I’ll try to write more about that later but it’s basically the best summer job I’ve ever had.
On the other hand, my other summer jobs have included selling fireworks, hanging drywall and working in restaurants.

Welcome to the middle of your week.
Since I’m all about small accomplishments, I’m proud to report that I’ve been in my dorm room at Hendrix for almost a full day and I haven’t locked myself out yet.

Perhaps you’ve got something other than the election on your mind today.

Obviously, the biggest news of the day is Barack Obama picking up another 99 delegates in North Carolina and Indiana last night.
That probably sealed the deal on his nomination.
I stayed up late hoping that Obama would close the 20,000 margin with Hillary Clinton in Indiana but when I realized that it was really just about [...]

Welcome to the middle of your week.

Otherwise known as the mid-week spin room.
I may post something a little more substantial later today but right now I’m enjoying my breakfast: a big bowl of Lucky Charms and a cappuccino.
A.k.a. “The Breakfast of Irish-Italian Champions”.
Before you judge my nutritional decisions, I should mention that I biked 26 miles this morning, kids.
And I never [...]

It’s finally starting to look like spring in Searcy.
The dogwoods and azaleas are in full bloom and I think the raccoons have started up the buffet line at my garbage cans again.
Eric and I biked down to the Little Red at Riverside Park this morning. The river’s down a little but the bad news [...]

I’m going to be pretty busy today packing and getting a couple of exams ready.
My IR class has an test on liberal-idealism and international conflict on Friday.
