First Day of Class
I had 13 credits scheduled when I woke up yesterday morning. By three in the afternoon I had 17; having obtained a permit to overload in JAPN 101, Elementary Japanese.
But more important than my schedule (which sucks, I have no two classes in a row -- Mondays I'm on campus 9am-9pm with breaks between each class) are the cool goings-on. For example, at work I was told one person would need to be on top of the shelving while the other was on the ladder, so we could take stuff down. Ignoring the ladder, I instead scaled one of the legs of the shelving. Once up, I had about 6 inches of clearance to sit, and then the 25' drop (or so).
Later (or maybe it was earlier), a friend informed me that all of the freshmen had been alerted to the presence of unicycling twins on campus. I'm thinking we might need to put on a show.
Certainly later than both, I was walking to band (Symphonic Winds) and carrying my (the school's) baritone. Passing a little girl and a woman, I overheard some whispered conversation: something about a 'French Horn', and something about 'Ask him! Ask him!' That was enough for me to gather what was going on, but I kept walking for the moment. Then the woman said "Excuse me, sir," and I know I smilied at that as I turned around, "is that a french horn?" "It's actually a baritone, wanna see?" and so I played a tune. Of course, it sounded terrible because I wasn't warmed up and it was raining slightly, but amazing nonetheless.

Good Luck on the rest of your year!

sorry i took for forever to even check this thing out. i've been extremely busy like you would not believe. it's pretty cool how you and your brother are known as the unicycling twins, but do you two really go to the same college? i would hate to go to college in the same state as my twin.
