Hi

Well the last week and a half has flown by at an unprecedented speed. Last week (Feb. 22-28th) was the philosophy departments scheduled reading week which meant that I had no class all week long. Having no class was great and it gave me a chance to a) catch up on reading, b) sleep in, and c) begin to prep for term papers. I have papers due on March 15th, 18th, and 25th and once they are completed I will have concluded my first term over here and get to go on vacation for a month (be jealous it's ok, I will still love you even if you hate me).

So I will be spending the remainder of the week prepping for papers and beginning to write them. I guess I have an exciting weekend planned.

The American Football team travelled to South Hampton over the weekend to play a game there. The weather was much better than in preceding weeks which was really nice. I played fullback for the entire game and made several good plays, one good catch for a decent gain, and got lit up a few times. I did unfortunately re-injure my left knee (injured it swimming in High School) which took me out of the game near the end of the fourth quarter. I don't know what my final stats were, but I should have those soon, and when I get them I will post them as a comment to this post.

Climbing is going well. I'm getting stronger and smarter in my climbs. The club is planning a trip to Olympos, Turkey in June to spend 11 days off the Mediterranean Sea climbing, sunbathing, boating, deep water snorkeling, green turtle spotting, and all around having a good time. I am really looking forward to the trip.

I spent yesterday in London, bumming around the South Banks, Parliament Square, and other such places. I then went to the Egypt v. England at Wembley Stadium. Pictures are up on my facebook so feel free to check them out.

I would love to hear from you guys to see how you are doing, so leave me a comment, drop me a message on fb, or shoot me an email at 'nathanmueller@creighton.edu'
