God bless Jayme for posting shots of both Seattle and Portland, my two beloved Northwest cities in her latest post.

Its Friday already and I'm staring down the barrel of a matrix-like automatic weapon. I'm just hoping I can revert to ceiling mode when it gets rough this weekend. I'm going to see the "frenchmen" to try and speak their language. Let's just hope I have enough energy to survive Monday where I'm expected to entertain my prof and classmates for 10 minutes with the topic of lavender.
