august 18

I have been moved into Legon Hall, which I believe is the worst dorm on campus. Everything is dirty, the bathroom is disgusting, and the water is only on 40% of the time. Both of the doors in my room are broken. It seems like everything I buy here either does not work or breaks quickly. But I'm not complaining, If I wanted life to be easy I would not have come here.
On a brighter note, my roomie and I went to a nightclub where someone was shooting a music video, and insisted that they needed more white people. So keep an eye on MTV.
I'm starting to get better at soccer. It's not that i was particularly bad, it's just that everyone else is really good. We also visited the botanical gardens on campus, saw really intesting plants and really vicious ants.
Everything else is going good, my spirits are high, hope everyone else is enjoying thier life too.
love, Forest

Forgot about the time difference. In Ohio it is still Sunday, August 17th, so Stan and Marietta, who are busily setting up for the Renaissance Festival here, want to wish you a Happy Birthday.
Remember Niche said:"That which does not kill us makes us stronger" However, I'd still try to avoid the ants, and other biting insects.

hey forestino,
Hello from Minnisota! It was really cool to hear of your crazy time in a strange land. I`m glad to hear you went exploring the area. It all sounds like a freaking blast! I am sorry to hear about the water thing, but we deal with that at the ren. fair also. Ha Ha We have been having lots of great adventures too. First after leaving Colorado we went to a hot springs. It was extra relaxing because that springs has the highest Litium content in North Amer. After that we went to the huge biker rally Steruis in S.D. I will tell you about it later. Now we are headed to Kansas for the fair. Anyway I really wanted to talk to ya on your B~day, but I`m a slacker and forgot it is a half a day later! I Love You so much and hope you got to do some thing festive or maybe something sweet! {Bloted Monkey!} Keep up the cool Blog
