21. Half a Pemma Sighting!!

Our Orientation Leader issued a challenge to the group during Welcome Week: every time one of us sees either Patrick or Emma, aka Pemma (the student leaders of Welcome Week) we're to take a picture of them. Today I saw Emma on West Bank but I panicked and by the time I realized I needed photographic proof, she had already passed me. That's her, in the blue jacket and the red backpack.

20. You Handsome Devil, You

I had some downtime before a class so I was sitting in a public study area and looked up to find the white board had a great message on it: Connor everyone <3's you! You handsome devil, you.

Twin Cities Veg Fest

Today I went to the Twin Cities Veg Fest and these are a few of the T-shirts that they had for sale there. I love them all but I especially like that Hail Seitan, Go Vegan one in the upper right corner there. 

Awkward Family Photos

I took portraits of my roommate and her brother today for their mother's birthday. It was equal parts awkward and fun.

19. Nash Gallery

For my art class we went into the Nash gallery on campus. I love this piece entitled We Are All Criminals. Along with this set of digital photographs, the piece also asks  people to write on a piece of paper what crimes they've committed and post them up on the wall in a similar fashion to these pictures. 

18. Flat Tire

My tire popped today about 30 seconds into my bike ride home. I had to walk it across the bridge clunking all the way.

17. Candy Corn

I got called away from my homework because my roommates were asking if I wanted candy corn...I came out to find that the "candy corn" was an old carrot...thanks guys. 

16. Radio K

The University radio station had an hour of impromptu music performances this afternoon on the West Bank to promote their station. 

15. The Short Life of our Beautiful Fridge

We've been having trouble with our fridge all semester (I can't even tell you the number of times I've talked to how many different people about it). They finally decided to do something about it and that something they plan to do is give us a new fridge. Great! Except my roommates and I spent HOURS putting all those paint chips on the fridge in visible spectrum order all the way around the front and sides... 

Housework

Today Brittney and I spent a good half an hour making her lofted bed. It actually took some real physical exertion to get all her sheets and blankets up there and tucked in just right. We probably won't do it again until next semester... 

Breakfast with the Crew

The Men's Rowing team had breakfast all together at the residence hall restaurant and at the end of the meal, we stacked all of our cups. We were 30 cups strong before we got yelled at by an employee and had to turn them all back in. 

14. Ransom?

This creepy creeper held my bike hostage today.

13. Tonsils

Two of my roommates have sore throats so all four of us had a throat-checking party in the bathroom. Yes, we're weird. 

12. And the Wheels Keep Turning

So there was a casual hubcap hanging out in the median on East River Road today.

11. Stowaway

This little guy was hiding out in my computer case while I was working on some homework outside. I think he wanted to go to class with me.
