The Forward Progress

Hello All!

Not much news I'd have to say over the past week, but I'd say that all is well. I had two quarter-term exams that both went spectacularly and spent the past weekend getting a lot of fun things in the mail. In fact, the latest things that came through circulation particularly made my day on Tuesday. The first was a care package from my family with a great Valentine's Day theme, complete with heart-shaped suckers and cards and all sorts of goodies. The second is a projector that I have been anticipating. Christmas present to myself with an Amazon gift card from my family in Connecticut (love you guys!).

Yeah that's right: my dorm room is now officially a multi-media stereo theater event!

Watched my first movie on a screen larger than some of the people who live on my hall: Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Felt that it was classic and most appropriate! Bueller never conned the world more epically in my life than he did on my roommate's wall at HD quality projection.

Can I get an "AAAAAAAAAAWWWWWW YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAH"?

Hahahaha ^^
Anyway, the weather here is finally moving onto what we can 'pretty darn nippy.' Below freezing temps are rare where I live and rarer where I go to college, so it's been a welcome cha...
...well, it's been a change at any rate!
Keeping warm for my part, and trying to keep others warm as well, for all it's worth.

I joined the registry a short while ago for bone marrow donations. Yes, I know, painful process, your cousin's sister's husband's donation horror story, whatever. I am actually kind of excited. They said four to six weeks are absolutely the earliest I would hear if I were to be somebody's match, but it's not uncommon to not hear for years. I kind of personally hope that I get matched with somebody. I'll just see how it goes. They suggested telling family members and friends about your decision to register, in the event that you might get called. Guess it's for moral support and stuff, but regardless.

Tomorrow I have an interview for the option of living in the German House on campus. No, I don't speak German, but this time two years ago, I didn't speak Italian either. The rest of that story is history. I have also taken guitar back up, but I'm getting bored talking about myself, so I'll move on to other things:

like the very important fact that my theater troupe - College of Engineering does Amateur Radical Theater - is putting on Reduced Shakespeare Company's The Complete History of America Ambridged. It is moderately hysterical, if rather crass, and the play in showing this coming Friday and Saturday. I am really excited about it and am glad to be getting back into theater. It should be a sort of level of rather excellent, and tonight we did the first run-through attempt with costumes. I cannot even begin to tell you how pumped I am!

This has been the news, thanks for tuning in,
I'm Jonathon and this is my life.
