Stilts

For your viewing pleasure. We went to Greenfield Village the beginning of August and attempted to use the stilts. As you can see, Brian was better than me and I'm the one who needs the height more!

MTU Onsite Energy Brand Launch

Last week Brian was in Mankato, MN for the MTU Onsite Energy brand launch. This is a picture that they took of him. It's only his head - not body or hand. :) Enjoy!

Air Show

Here's a movie from a few weeks ago. There was an air show at the nearby Willow Run Airport and the planes flew over our apartment complex. They were really loud! Enjoy!

Stepping Outside the Bubble

You know you've left the Calvin bubble when...

• you have to park in a parking ramp.
• it takes you twenty minutes to find a spot in said parking ramp.
• there are real cops on every corner around your school.
• people actually walk in the crosswalk because it is a major road.
• your skin color is in the minority of people on campus.
• those in the majority are not all international students.
• you pay more than $20 for a parking pass.
• sororities are actively advertised on campus.
• hip hop music is heard louder than anything else on campus.
• you're in a parking lot on the highway when you try to leave school.
• you're gone for 5 hours for a 2.75 hour class.

Needless to say, I started school yesterday at Wayne State University. The first day didn't go the greatest and has caused me to rethink taking classes at the downtown campus. Today I went to the Oakland campus off of 696 and that was much more relaxed and easier to get to.

I've been to two of three classes and will be busy with just those two. My young adult literature class involves reading 22 books in 16 weeks on top of a few short papers and textbook reading. My online class won't be too bad as long as I keep up with it. I'll keep you updated on how things progress with my last class on Monday night.
