Updates:
fourth week of class is starting. My classes are mostly great, my classmates are awesome, and things at "Chateau Van Buren" (our house) are still stellar.

Here at the homestead we've been watching a whole lot of House. I'm still running a few times a week - I'm actually writing this post waiting for my body to stop sweating from my 10k run this morning. Weather's still the same. I went to the rock climbing gym last week too, and with any luck I'll keep going every week or so.

For our interpretation classes we have to meet in practice groups for eight hours each week outside class, and organizing that has been a bit of a pain, but things are coming together. It also means I have less time to waste before getting to my other homework. The groups are fun though: we're always telling each other random stories about ourselves for the other people to interpret, and we laugh a whole lot.

I also joined some of my classmates for a volunteer project that involves translating a monthly stop-human-trafficking bulletin into Spanish. http://www.stopenslavement.org/index.html

Other than that, my main news is that the Perkster bought a flight to come out and visit me before we go to his brother's wedding. He'll get here the night of Oct. 13, I think we'll get to Toronto the night of Thursday the 21st, and then we'll both fly back to our respective homes the day after the wedding, on Monday the 25th. Such a short time and I'll be busy with school... but he's coming!! :)

Ok, showertime!
