I’ll admit it, I haven’t exactly done anything interesting
recently. I have both biology and
chemistry midterms this week so my weekend was spent preparing for those. One benefit to studying last weekend over any
other weekend was that it was both Valentine’s Day and Oregon’s Birthday so the
food was unusually nice and they were handing out free cake in Templeton. I did make it out for a short walk in Tryon during
a gap in the rain though, which was beautiful.
Next week shouldn’t be nearly so busy so with luck I'll be able to write
more then.
The one adventure I had involved a lot of time one the MAX
(Portland’s light rail system). I took
the Pio (L&C’s shuttle) to downtown Portland and took the MAX for about an
hour to get to Hillsboro, Oregon. Once there, I visited the local Venturing
Crew (a coed scouting group) and joined them for a meeting. Scouting is a really small world and it turns
out that one of my friends from a summer camp in New Mexico is a member of this
crew. It was nice getting out for a bit
and seeing old friends.

L&C Everyday Life: Watzek
At the moment I am sitting in one of the more hidden study
areas in Watzek Library. Watzek is
located on the undergraduate campus and houses over 300,000 volumes. If that’s not enough books for you, we are
also part of the Summit (a group of both public and private libraries which
share their collections) and have access to the collections of at least 35
other libraries.
