Well, i am at the honda dealership here in Eugene, Oregon. My car is making some really bad noises, probably the air conditioning pump (i figured that out thanks to some helpful detective work over the phone by Mr. Simich) They said they are going to try to bypass it with a belt from a honda accord DX (which doesn't have an air conditioning) because that will be a ton cheaper and quicker than taking apart the front end. I was making good time and the weather is supposed to get nasty again tomorrow (Shasta is saying snow for the next seven days starting tomorrow, yuck) so i would really like to get out of here, but he people are being really friendly, and i fixed myself up with some internet access (nobody has said anything yet)
Andrew and i had fun in portland, we drove across a bunch of bridges, saw a really cool french cartoon, ate sushi, hung out with krista and had a regular old good time. The drive up here was pretty fun, we just barely made it over the Siskiyous before they closed I-5. Lots of people spun out and we had to go super slow. Oakdale was pretty nice too, i really like getting to see my grandma and my aunts and uncles (well aunt, i am not sure if the the wife of my uncle is also my aunt, i can't remember how that works)
I don't really remember what else i have done over the holidays since my last post. i did really good as far as classes go, i somehow barely pulled a B in controls and the rest were A's so that was a nice suprise. I have an interview at China Lake on the 12th of January (it is the navy's version of Edwards Air Force Base, where they do all their testing) I hung out with chuck and pete quite a bit and we went and saw the lord of the rings (oh yeah, pete wore his storm tropper, wait, biker scout helmet to the movie. apparently this is funny, cause return of the king is like return of the jedi or something, but it was actually really funny. Courtney told me the story of when he wore the helmet through the whole 1st episode star wars movie, yeah) Mary is in Chicago for a church conference thing and is having a great time, but i can't wait for her to get back. All in all it has been a good break so far, lots of excitement.
