Nothing new...

I don't really have much to report from this side of the world. I got sick on Monday along with the other two girls that were at the barbeque. We still haven't figured out what caused the horrible stomach cramps, because nothing really makes sense. The two other girls are vegetarians, so they ate vegetables and pasta (all washed and either freshly cooked or soaked in vinegar). The two guys didn't get sick, but they ate and drank everything we did and even had double portions of most of it. My dad actually suggested it might be the potato chips, since it is the only thing that all of the girls ate and the guys didn't eat much of. Who knows. There are some leftover chips, so theoretically I could test that hypothesis, but it might not be worth the suffering.


The barbeque mystery, however interesting, isn't actually the reason I'm posting. I just got some pictures from Traci and wanted to post them. They're pictures of Dan and I trying to save a HUGE night crawler from my merciless kindergartners (they tried to rip it in half!!). In the end, Dan managed to convince them there was never a worm there in the first place by chasing them around the lawn. The last one is a good, Chinese style, victory picture. Asians are obsessed with peace... weird, huh?


In other news, I have almost finished my application for George Mason! All I have to do is pay and click send. I love electronic applications! I'm actually really excited about the idea of studying again. It's been FOUR years since I graduated! I'm a little bit nervous, though, since I have apparently lost my ability to write academically. I'm hoping that will come back to me, but if it doesn't come back quickly, I may find myself in over my head.
