School started back up last week. I'm taking Ancient and Medeival Philosophers, Ethics, and Astronomy 101. Three classes, six textbooks. So far so good, but I've been reading a hellalot as a result! It's cool though. Did you know that ancient philosophers (600-500 BCE) wrote about theories of evolution? I did not.
Saw some good movies over the summer. Knocked Up, Transformers, Hairspray, Bourne Ultimatum, The Simpsons, Stardust and Harry Potter were all worth the time and money. Ratatouille was borderline, but on the good side of borderline. Superbad SUCKED!
Read the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I liked it. Just from the preface I knew I was going to like it. I wasn't disappointed.
Summer's over. My first 'hot' muggy summer. They said it would be so horrible. That the dry heat of Phoenix and the rest of the southwestern region was a breeze compared to it. And they were wrong. Humidity has its inconveniences--my shirt has been completely soaked after each workout, and has remained so well into the following day. Gross. Working out in humidity also turns my body into a waterfountain. That's gross too. My towel also remains damp well into the day following a shower. Not as gross, but unusual. And humidity can be a little uncomfortable overall. However, it's far from unbareable. I'm not zapped of energy after the smallest hint of physical exertion outside, which is what happens back home. I have yet to seer my skin on doorknobs, benches, seatbelts, steering wheels, the sidewalk or anything else outside that bakes in the heat. In fact, I've rarely even actually felt hot over this summer. My room and my car both cool down in seconds with a/c (it takes a while back home). I've not been anywhere near dehydrated all season. And I have heard no reports of death from this humid, hot Omaha weather (people drop like flies from the heat back home). At the end of the day, I guess it's just personal choice. But give me a humid 95 degrees over a 'dry' 115 degrees any day!
Next weekend is Labor Day weekend, and I'm headin' over to Chicago for the first time. WoooHooo! I've been wanting to get over there since I got to Nebraska. Should be good times.
