Last week Paul came home from grocery shopping with four Lego robots. But these weren’t normal Lego’s like I was used to when I was a kid. These things had glowing laser tubes and huge claw pieces and the Lego men had hair and facial features. It was crazy, but kind of cool.

Most of my professors have suddenly realized that we only have three weeks left and they’ve only given one or two exams. It never fails. They always scramble to throw us some grades really quickly here at the end. But whatever. That’s the magic of quarters.
