I didn't expect to be absent for this long. I've been very busy. First of all, I have started learning Portuguese. Secondly, after knitting many lines, I've finally learned how to cast on stitches in addition to knitting or purling them. I've found a great site for knitting a tallit, and I've begun knitting it.
Portuguese: basic phrases...
Knitting: casting on...

Well, my weekend was nice. I walked the plaza and saw some unique people. For example, I saw a man - he had the most "pimped-out" bicycle that I've ever seen! I went to Kim Long's Asian Market and Pho KC in downtown Kansas City, and they had the best chicken soup. I also went to a BBQ restaurant in the City Market, which, in my opinion, is ten times better than Arthur Bryant's! Not only is their food a higher quality with a larger variety, but it is also accompanied by live, local music - in fact, almost every product and service of theirs is local! This BBQ and high-meat diet was joined by a large smoothie in the morning and a long hike during the afternoon. The lake was beautiful, I tell you... I definitely enjoyed my weekend.
On my hike, I saw a ball of loose cotton - oh, nope; my bad. I saw a newly dead pelican!
I saw a strange car on the plaza....
And a man with a very interesting bike....
With our dead pelican's memorial....
And my father's hand... err, nevermind... let's not say anything here!
But, ah! Smell the flowers at the Kaufman memorial! What a lovely smell, a lovely sight!
With all the fun things happening, I've still had a rough week. Someone stole all of my papers - for every class! when I was using the restroom. I was barred from doing a lab in science class, and I barely finished an assignment in Geography. While it was fun, it took forever trying to scour the Internet for random residential addresses in Durban, South Africa. I know... it may not sound like a challenge, but I found no real-estate website that displayed an address in Kwa-Zulu Natal. I couldn't even run across random addresses when trying to find tutorials for addressing South African envelopes. It's funny, really... I told my teacher about this problem, and she said, "... many students including myself made it up." Ha - that was a relief! I hope this week is better.
This week is turning out better. My IED class (or, "Introduction to Engineering and Design") is using Skype in school for the very first time, I got a new Latin dictionary (two dictionaries!) for free, and I've improved my knitting. It's not so bad this week. I had fun.
I'm very thankful for what quality - and quantity - of events I had this preceding week. Thank you, Mighty One!
