grades ok so far

well... i just got the results back from my first term paper in
Natural Hazards, I got a solid B (85%) which is excellent considering
all of my other "smaller" assignments have been A's so far and I only
need a C- to pass the class.

*note for parents and auntie Kare who are surely about to protest at
my acceptance of a C-*
Please remember that I am taking this class "pass/no pass" meaning
that it doesn't touch my GPA, it's only a matter of getting the units.
*end of note*

as for my other classes, well... to be honest i'm not quite sure
where I stand but I'm pretty sure I'm doing well. I had a PR
presentation today and the teacher gave us excellent reviews (our
group was the gold standard).

In other news, my beard is growing long and gangly (quite annoying I
assure you) for Friday's shoot -the hair on my head is looking about
the same- and I've resumed working out (which is positive). I'm up to
167lbs (compared to 150ish when I arrived at SC)... the heaviest I've
ever been in my life :-). No more complaining about emaciated James,
he's bulking up.

nightly super smashbros battles continue to rage till about 1a.m. or
so on a regular basis, along with general techyness and a splash of
hacking :-p

I have yet to decide If I want to participate in this massive GM PR
campaign and live in a chevy aveo for a week with another person, but
I'll be talking to some people about it and making my decision soon.

I was offered a short job doing publicity for a new film, It will
consist of about 8 hours of logistical organizing and publicity
activities and the pay rate suits me so that should be exciting. I'll
keep you all posted as to how things go.

I'm about to leave to go have some dinner and play ultimate frisbee
till about 11pm tonight so i'm going to sign off and get ready.

Laterz,

James

Hello James,
Glad to see you're publishing again. Fun to read the posts. Yes, you are looking a wee bit shaggy. But don't worry. Gals dig beards. Ask your mom. She married me when I was bearded. A sure-fire way to find out if the really love you - in spite of the skin rashes they get from getting too close. That's why God made 'em. The beards. Not the girls.

ANYWAY! Was happy to see you this Am. hope that printer works out and is useful. Call mom on the Chat if you have time. Dad.
