Harder time at school...


I posted something last year about how some schools are segregating children by gender. Here is another article (get your free login from Bugmenot.com!) about how boys are now the "disadvantaged gender" in the education system. As scientists are discovering how girls' brains mature 18 months earlier than boys, educators are finding that the gap between the sexes widening. Hmm, so maybe studying in an all boys HS did help?

TROOH 6 - Heading West ... MidWest...


As prices for square feet keep getting higher, more and more people are heading to the midwest to get a better bang out of their buck. Your salary may be a bit lower but you get more space for a lot less compared to buying houses in the East and West coast. I wonder if my future SIL and BIL thought about this already? Maybe WE should head over there?

It's been three years to the day...

Malou just informed me that this is the day I sent her the first of many, many, many emails we would send to one another for the past three years. Wow, it's been three years since I hesitated to send her an email. I've always wondered what would have happened if I never sent that email or if she just wrote me off. Well if I knew then what I know now, I would have wrote to her a lot sooner.

Ich liebe dich meine Schatz.

It's 2006! Changes a-hoy!

Happy New Year everybody! Sheesh I sound like Dr. Nick Riviera but anyway, it's a brand new year and quite a lot is going to happen to everybody. I received a delightful surprise on the last day of the 2005 when our friendly postman came by and delivered the wedding invitations! I didn't expect it until Tuesday but I was glad I already had them. I've already arranged them by country and state so that the post office will have a faster time processing them.

I also received the canonical interview questions and only read through them fully today. I think the only one question I had to spend time on was when I was asked how often did I go to mass, confession and take communion. Considering there are 52 weeks in a year, I am assuming I've gone to at least 52 masses. Hopefully

Well that's it for now on my end. Enjoy the rest of your day!
