The Wandering Mighs of Turkey Break: A Report from the Home Front

I am home again! This is the second time I've been home since going to Bates, and I still miss Bates! However, things down here have been going pretty well. On Monday I went to the dentist, and on Tuesday I visited my friend Kelly from Bates, who lives alllllll the way up north in Lincoln, NH, thought it was very good to see her! Today I'm getting my hair cut and I was supposed to be meeting a good friend of mine from down here, but she had to cancel, so I don't know how likely it is that I'll be able to see her before break. *sigh* Anyway.

This just in: The Dentist reports that Nick's teeth look very good. However, he cautions that there are rumors of revolutionary groups setting up camp in the right side, so we'll have to watch this development very closely. Back to you, Jim.

I had a weird dream last night though... it involved foreign countries, the underworld, a tropical island with beautiful girls, a mall, a couple friends, a big office building with no locked doors, phones, spying, chinese food, and corruption. I couldn't describe it because I have little idea of what the order of events were. But I think you can imagine how weird that mix would be. Of course, not all of them were present at the same time lol.

Until next time, this is Nick Bauer, signing off.

The College Days

It's been waayyyyy too long since I last did anything here. Let me start off by saying that I love it here at Bates. No joke. I'm incredibly glad I didn't pursue Haverford or Williams any further after the bastards waitlisted me. I have great classes and professors, a wonderful dorm, a beautiful campus, and awesome friends. No luck on finding a girlfriend yet, though.

It's Sunday at 11 o'clock. I just woke up 10 minutes ago... God, I love not having to get up so early every morning. No church on sunday mornings either! I went to the first Catholic mass, which is at 7 pm, but it was so *boring*... And the lady who sang the songs sang them much too slowly. If they had more lively singing I would go, but I've been negelecting church; yeah, it's unfortunate, but ah well. I'm not *that* religious. Ah well.

Nothing really that exciting going on. There is the Red Sox vs. the Yankees, but I don't want to think about it... the Sox are being crushed. It's pitiful. Just pitiful.

Anyway, it looks to be a rather boring Sunday; maybe not as bad as yesterday, but bad enough.

Funishness Even Without Meteors!

I had a great time last night! I picked up Ashley at 4:45 pm to avoid He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named, and we went to my house to eat dinner with my family... Tortillini = yum! Afterwards, we watched the gag reel for Pirates of the Caribbean, got desert, and then watched the full movie. It was very long, actually, but good. Next we went to see if we could find a good place to watch the meteors from, but Stratham Hill Park was closed at night, and there were too many lights near UNH, and just plain too many mosquitoes everywhere! It was also still pretty cloudy. So we bought some food from Irving's and went to my house again, and watched Atlantis with my sister. Only after did we realize how late it was (1 am!). So I was going to take her home, but we noticed the sky had cleared up. We watched the meteors a little bit, then after it started to cloud up again I took her home. It was 2:30 am by the time I got home. That was the longest I'd ever hung out with her, and it was tres fun! :D

Going to Bates!

I've been so horrible about updating this.

Updates: I finally found out who my roommates are, one's from Maine, the other from Sweden. They both sound pretty cool, so hopefully the year will go well! Roger Williams Hall.
