ice skating, atmosphere, and stream discharge

This week flew by! On friday night I, surprisingly, went ice skating! It was the first time on ice for the crazies from the bahamas, domincian republic, and LA. They did alright though. After we got back we realized that chemistry and math was due by 11:59pm (online hw). So until just about 11:59 we were all working on that in my room. And just when Xenia and I were ready to storm down to The Rat* and yell at whoever screwed up our pizza order, Jared, the pizza delivery guy, brought us a new pizza and complimentary cookies. Some things just always end up working out. Like when I proclaimed I really wanted pancakes at 5 in the morning, and some random guy just pulled some out of his freezer. Ask and you shall receive!

Saturday night we made the treck to orlando to witness some of minneapolis' finest. Atmosphere. The opening act, blueprint, was awesome but the next guy from LA kind of sucked. It was fun to be all minnesotan pride, but at the same time it was not fun to be in a cloud of smoke and spilt beer. What happened to no smoking indoors? Is that a minnesotan thing?

Today, however, is homework day, which is clearly why I am blogging! I just got back from measuring the stream discharge of Crane Creek with alex, my trusty engineering friend with a tape measurer, and according to my calculations it is .0511m^3/s. I hope that's right! In our hydrosphere homework it just said "use the necessary measurements to calculate the stream discharge of crane creek". So I hope whatever measurements I made were okay!

Grandpa Nick, if you're reading this, you should know that your gooey goodness bars are amazing. Now that everyone on my floor has tried them I have to lock my door. It's ok to be selfish when it comes to prized baked goods, right?

Oh my goodness gracious this makes me miss you.
You seem to be having a ridiculously good time with this whole college thing - I'm super jealous of your adventures.
It's awesome that you went to see Atmosphere - there coming here in November and I'm hoping to make it to the concert.
And my mouth started watering at the mention of your grandpa's bars.

Mmmmmm...
