ascanius

So, two years as of yesterday since I joined the site. It's been a heck of a time. I got my first ignore sometime recently. I just noticed it a couple days ago. It feels pretty good. It's a guy that a lot of you have on your friend lists, but who I think is a real idiot. Someone who thinks he's smart just because he's liberal. Someone who thinks he's immune from bigotry since his bigotry is based in reason instead of faith. I won't say any more about it, except for the fact that it's kind of a rush. I never realized it would feel so good to have such an ignorant twit put me on ignore. Makes me feel like I've been pulling my weight. I know that sounds bitter, but really I'm more amused than anything.

Anyway, other than that things are going pretty well. The Future Ms. Ascanius is living an hour and a half away from me this year, so we get to spend our weekends together. After a year apart that feels like heaven. Classes are going pretty well. I'm taking Sales and Estates, which are boring, Corporations, which I think will be useful, but the prof. and I don't see eye to eye, and Land Transactions and Finance, which is great. It's what I think I want to do when I finish up here, since I'm pretty sure I don't want to be a lawyer. It's a really practical, down to earth class about how to get shit done in the world of real estate. The professor is this tiny, giddy little Jewish guy who looks like he could be one of my uncles. He keeps making little references that only I get, since I'm the only Jew in the class. For example, "here's the standing on one foot version of the rule against perpetuities."

Anyway, so that's all good. I've recently started walking to school. It's 1.7 miles either way on a pretty steep grade, and I think I could really use the exercise. Also, it's a really pretty walk. I'll try to remember my camera next time. It's foliage season and everything is starting to light up red.

Well, my best to you all.
