Yearly Archives: 2006


What? First semester? 1

Wow, I realize I haven’t written anything on here for literally months. So far, UVA has been a lot of fun and I’m really surprised to find it November already and passing from fall to winter. It seems a little weird to get dressed up for football games and be able to see mountains around where you live, but it’s definitely a good place to be.
I just had my birthday and it was a lot of fun, having your birthday near Halloween is always fun 🙂 Mike and I dressed up as the guys from Inside Man (see below), which is a really good movie and you should definitely go watch it.

Here it is, almost Thanksgiving. It’ll be a nice change to go home and hopefully with any luck it’ll start snowing soon and I can get some skiing in, I can’t wait to go skiing again.
I miss driving.
I just lost the hard drive in my laptop 🙁 Which means that most of my pictures and work for the past few months has disappeared 🙁 I tried to get what I could with mild success — if I’ve sent you any pics in the past few months please feel free to send them back to me in case I have otherwise lost them. :((
In national news, the Democrats just reclaimed both houses of Congress 🙂

Check out pictures from Football, Halloween, a rugby game:

Costa Maya

We stopped at Costa Maya. It looked like it used to be a really beautiful place — but suffered the bittersweet arrival of tourism. We went to Mahahual, a fishing village, which looks like it could be a very nice place, but now depends entirely on tourism and gives a very real, face to face view of the struggle the people there endure.
