Finding Adventure

I found a unicorn yesterday. It was small, hidden away where you couldn't see it from the street, behind a wall and out of the way. Because this is Arizona and no sane white-skinned animal would live there, it was copper. I really like that there are magical things like this to find around here. It makes going places more interesting.



Also, thanks to unseasonably warm February weather (snow and rain? HA! It's hot enough to complain about here), the lizards are back after their winter hibernation. There have been a couple of times when I thought I saw tree bark move, but it was really just a little lizard. They're funny little things.


We hosted a Rube Goldberg competition last Saturday for all the Engineering clubs. Society of Civil Engineers, who share our room, won with a really cool machine that showcased what they did. We also ran the big machine, which, for being "on stage" for the first time, ran really really well. Everyone was really impressed, and we were pretty proud. We also got cool shirts last week and took official pictures.


Rehearsals for the "NOT a Doctor Who Musical" have finally started. It's a completely different group of people than I normally hang out with. but they're all fun people, just the same. The show is probably going to be the last weekend in April or the first weekend in May, and it should be pretty good.

I did okay on my midterms, but I know next time, I am going to have to study more.

I went to go see the newer Thor movie with Clayton last week. It was a decent movie, lots of explosions, little plot, lots of big names. The funniest thing was that Christopher Eccleston, who played the Doctor in Doctor who, was playing the bad guy, and pretty successfully.

This weekend, my roommate and I are hosting high schoolers again. I like doing that, but it's always strange remembering that I was in their shoes less than a year ago. Apparently, there are girls coming from all over the country this time and not just from Arizona.

Also, Dungeons and Dragons is still going strong. This is a candid shot of the group (minus our monk):
That's also been a ton of fun.

All in all, it's been a good week.

P.S. I'm sorry I didn't get this posted on Thursday. I hit the save instead of the publish button. :-/
