While we're young and beautiful

Classes are still good and interesting (except for stats, but that's to be expected). Honestly, even stats isn't too bad. The prof is really good.
I didn't get the research position, so I'm looking for something else. I'm going to check out some daycares around here.
I'm now on a soccer team, which makes me very happy. =) GSPIA (graduate school of public & international affairs) has an intramural team that plays Sunday nights. It's an indoor turf field, which is pretty cool. Sandra is playing too.
I'm considering joining Mediators Without Borders which is an international conflict resolution organization.
We had a big birthday party here last weekend for all our friends who have September birthdays. There were probably 30+ people here. It was a lot of fun. We grilled out, and of course had lots of dancing =)
There were salsa lessons Wednesday nights during September that I went to after class. That was a lot of fun. There was a petition going around this past week to continue the classes since it was the last one, so we'll see how that turns out.
For the most part, I'm pretty busy with school work. I have an insane amount of reading and studying to do, but so far it's going well =)
