Shabbat shalom yall! Just got back from the Hillel event where we celebrated Shabbat in the first sukkah to ever be built on a college campus in Utah

In other news, I just got an email from NCC saying my diploma has been ordered! It's an AS degree in Liberal Arts, summa cum laude Except it says it'll take 12-16 weeks which I'm not so thrilled about.

Happy Friday night everyone!!!!!

That's too bad for the O's since the Yankees are going to win

Will it matter when the Braves win the World Series?

The only time in history that I rooted for the Yankees was when they played the Braves in the series.

I certainly do not want to be in that unhappy situation again.

I started seeking other employment, focusing on the airline industry, as I have experience and I love it.

Today I interviewed for and tentatively accepted a position with Delta Air Lines Reservations in MSP! I don't being for another month or so, but I'm thrilled to join Delta, and look forward to interacting with you all as well!
Glad to have you here, and congratulations!

It's nice to admire for an hour, but then it goes into a drawer and is forgotten about. But your youthful enthusiasm makes me realize how quickly youth disappears--I'm not even out of the same age-decade as you, and I didn't even graduate that many years ago, but it feels like a previous life. Enjoy it while you can.

Pffffft -- that degree will cut two years off of the four I would have otherwise had to spend here at Westminster

Yes, if they win. Surely, I hope so.

My prediction:

Washington Nationals or STL Cardinals vs Detroit Tigers or Baltimore O's.

Who will play in the SuperBowl this year?

(Warning: It is a trick question.)
