Liquid, Carnage, and the Superbowl Pt.3
So what is Carnage? Well, Carnage is a pub crawl that has become notorious for its drunken stupidity (think students urinating on war memorials being the norm and you've got the idea). You pay for a t-shirt that lets you skip all the lines and pubs and clubs and then from late afternoon until you can't take it anymore you drink in as many places as you can. The goal is to collect signatures from each place on your shirt. This was superbowl Sunday, leading to some very empty lectures on Monday I might add. We had a fire alarm and just a lot of chaos in the dorm so I didn't make it to sleep until about 3am. Reminded me of my Stillman Hall days.
Not a lot of new news. Its been nice getting emails from some of you, please keep that up! Of course keep reading our blog. My student records here are just about fixed so now I need to set things up so Colgate gets a copy at the end of the semester. Owned my practical yesterday like a lynx does a snow hare (bio majors you must get the reference there). Most of the class did so poorly the prof ended up not grading it, which I was sad about since it was a cakewalk for me. Subject was the cold weather adaptations (mostly biochemical adaptations) of animal life.
Zora and I will be in London this weekend, where Betty might be making an appearance. Locations potentially to come include Morocco, Paris, Geneva, Freiburg and maybe some other parts of Germany, Croatia (maybe), Greece (maybe) and Edinburg. Some of this being depends on how often we get the chance to wash our shirts.
If you're curious my class schedule is:
Monday: 1-3 Environmental Case Studies
Tuesday: 10-12 Marine Conservation 1-2 and 4-5 Animal Behavior
Wednesday: No Class
Thursday: 9-10 and 2-3 Animal Physiological Adaptations 12-1 and 4-5 Population Ecology
Friday: 9-11 Animal Learning and Cognition
Well, lecture is starting again soon. Hope all is well with you back in the states. You're all very much missed. Though I love reading about your lives in emails and texts, and seeing you on skype, a part of me wishes I was there with you in the moment.

It's good to hear you're still owning classes across the bond. Can I put in a vote for Amsterdam? It's a few hours by train from Paris, the people are super-friendly to english speakers, the food is good, there's high culture and low culture in abundance, and I don't think Zora's been before?
