Taking the world over in clipper ships

Well the past three days have been pretty good. Kelley came up and spent Sunday with me just for the heck of it. I love that! I cannot wait to be able to wake up next to her every morning. She subscribed to a mp3 service this week, so maybe I can get some new songs for my player which I cannot get normally. I don't remember the last time I downloaded a song.
Monday was relatively unmemorable. I actually went to Stats on a Monday since we had homework to turn in. I finished my novel for history and now should start working on the paper due next Tuesday. When I left stats I ran into Tom and went out to lunch with him. We decided to playtest for the PT at his apartment later that night, and we did after my one-on-one with Kenny. Gameplanning for Chi Alpha is for this quarter and beyond. Ken and I are co-leading next year's big outreach theme with Dronen and Paula. I think we are calling it Come Home, this year's was Read the Red. I also decided to lead 2-3 small groups in the next 5 weeks (Ken and I are splitting leadership for the 40 Days of Purpose Campaign. After I get my paper turned in Tuesday I will prep up to lead a shorter than usual small group. Fun fun fun.
Tuesday I went to class, had a group meeting with the mechanical guys and we split up writing tasks for the proposal. I swear Abhi (finally figured out his name) fully lives up to his last name which is Shitti. He likes to show up extraordinarily late and then insist on leaving as quick as he can. Oh well that's what group evaluations are for. At least when we asked him to do some work on the proposal he did deliver decent stuff (not much but it was good stuff). Playtested online (expect a lot of this in the next 2.5 weeks as the last dash to prepare for the PT continues) for a couple hours and then off to small group.
Today I went to class and then took my opportunity to go to the noontime Clippers game I had a free ticket to. Unlike Saturday night when I went, Columbus lost 10-3 this time. At least it was free and it was an absolutely beautiful day to sit in the sun at a ballgame. I also got some grading done that I neglected to do last night. Then I went back to campus, dropped off the papers and had a 2 hour group meeting to prepare our proposal and presentation for tomorrow. It is so bad, but the professor seems to have low expectations at least. Well its off to some playtesting and maybe work on my paper.
If you want to follow how we do at Grand Prix Detroit, go to www.magicthegathering.com and look for the link on Saturday to live coverage (middle left of the page under tournaments heading). Erik Schoeppner, Akil Steele, Tom Wood, and of course myself Dave Fitzgerald will be there. Hopefully one of us will make day 2 on sunday, but this is not a format any of us are all that good at.
