September 29, 2004 by Seraph in Cortez
It's been interesting watching the new activity on Mount St. Helen's. Isa has found it interesting too, although we have to give constant assurances that it won't errupt onto us. I just heard this morning that the lava dome is moving, and the earthquacks continue at about 1000 per day.
We've been enjoying the warm weather this week, with several trips to the park. Lately we've been collecting leaves and acorns for collages, and we found some edible chestnuts that we roasted up, yummy! Fall is here!

WooHoo!! Small moment of patting myself of the back. I pulled a 3.9 gpa this term (3 A's and 2 A-'s). One of those A's came from the teacher who never gives A's!
See you all tonight.

We head off to Eugene in a few hours
September 24, 2004 by Seraph in Cortez
We head off to Eugene in a few hours. I'll be doing some work for Hanni, and Isa is generally thrilled about two "sleepovers" in Eugene.
Sadie, I too am shocked (but somehow not surprised) by the RNC. I saw a bumper sticker yesterday that reminded me of you: FIGHTING FOR PEACE is like SCREWING FOR CELIBACY. Hmmm...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMIE!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMIE!!!!
I finished up finals last Thursday night, after which, I went with some of the folks in my class to the Red Robin and celebrated with a beer (or soda - for the kidos). It was really nice to have a weekend without any real responsibilities.
We went to the zoo on Friday, meeting Robbie after he finished work. We realized that rainy days are the best time to go. There are very few people there, and in Oregon there are always lots of sun breaks between showers. Amazingly a lot more animals were out then when it's sunny, so we actually got to see the tigar and the grizzly bear!
On Saterday we made trips to my school, the library, and and artisan street fair.
The weather has had us alternating between movies and trips to the park.
Today I started working at the student supply store. We will be spending the next two weeks getting the kits ready for the incoming students and generally reorganizing. As the boss is out of town much of this has fallen on the sholders of a few very organized students, and the few newly hired flunkies - of which I am now one. I think they are hoping that as an apparel design major I will know something about the supplies for my department.
Anyway, it's money, and thanks to the state minimum wage increase this Jan.1, school workers will be making a bit more money.
I will have October 18th off for Intitution Day, then the Thanksgiving holiday, finally finishing fall term on December 16th. I'm already looking forward to Christmas, and a bit more quality time with the fam! Hogs and Quiches!

September 14, 2004 by Seraph in Cortez
 I'm getting through finals week - three down two to go! Amazingly enough I think I may pull A's in all of my classes! But, I haven't taken my last two finals yet.
We're looking forward to possible visit from Alex and Carolyn this weekend. I may be working at the school supply store through the break, but spending the weekends in Eugene working at Hanni's and Mom's houses. Hopefully the exact dates and times will come together soon.
Robbie got his first batch of preschoolers yesterday. It sounds like only two kids (both boys) cried for their parents, and it was actually the dad's who had a harder time leaving them then the mom's. He admited that at one point he actually did what he said he would never do. He took one of the animal puppets, created a high-pitch voiced character and told silly stories to calm the kids. It worked, but I think these experiences are too humiliating for Robbie to continue with them!
Isa's been great lately. She and I enjoyed our weekend alone, while Robbie went to Eugene for the game. We went to our church's rummage sale (I got some great clothes for the Sadie, Jenny and Jamie to try on -- Skinny B--'s!), went "into the city" where Isa got to charm the other students spending their Sat. at school, and ate pizza and had a quick stop at the Sat Market before heading home. Considering we were without a car and doing a lot of walking, Isa was quite a trooper.
Love to all of my wonderful family!

Hmm
September 09, 2004 by Seraph in Cortez
 Hmm...a log cabin with moveable walls on Eugene's College Hill...
I saw a home improvement show recently where they sectioned off parts of a large room, into smaller rooms with curtian-like partitions that ran on tracks around the room. I actually looker pretty nice. Just think how much easier it would be to up-date the color or style of a room if you only had to invest in new curtian fabric! Plus you could push them all aside and mop/vacuum the whole house at once! Granted this idea only flys if you don't have looks of people in the house who are simultainiously (SP??) trying to sleep and listen to loud music!

September 08, 2004 by Seraph in Cortez
 I had a great time with everyone this weekend! I must admit that I didn't get the homework done that I should have, but at least the term is slowly wrapping up, and there are fewer projects left to complete.
Robbie and Isa have been in Eugene, returning today. They've been revisiting some of their old haunts, and seeing old friends. Although their absence has made it easier for me to catch up with my school work, I'm very much looking forward to their return.
I'm thinking about begging one of my art teachers to let me volunteer in her studio. It would mostly be making slide lables and lugging around instalations, but it would look great on a resume. I'll let you all know if I can convince her that she needs me!

This week is slugging alon
September 02, 2004 by Seraph in Cortez
This week is slugging alon. Although finals are not for two weeks, it feels like everything is due this week. I over slept two hours this morning, although Robbie rushed to the rescue and got me to school on time. I think what it really boils down to is that I'm really looking forward to the end of the week, and hanging out with my family - even if I have school work in tow.
