In an effort to actually update my blog on a more regular basis, I have decided to try posting every evening with my Pow and Wow of the day. The Pow and Wow is a tribute to my first Evanston apartment, 718 Simpson, 1E, where we would review our Pows and Wows almost every evening in the kitchen, usually on Danny or Don's insistence (Pow and Wow, for those of you who are unfamiliar with the term, is a daily high and low). Pow always has to go first, because, as everyone knows, it's better to end on a high note.
Pow: Despite the fact that I swore I never would, I finally caved today and bought my first pair of leggings. Black knit ones that go down to about mid-calf. Now, the Pow part of this situation is that I made fun of the leggings-as-a-replacement-for-pants trend for MONTHS and now here I sit in my very own pair of leggings and shirt/dress from H&M. Even still, though, I have a hard time feeling bad about this, because they are just so dang comfortable.
Wow: We had our Semester-Anfangs Party (beginning of the semester party) for CfC tonight, and probably 25 students showed up, including a few of my favorites. At last count, there were people from at least seven different countries (Kenya, China, England, the Netherlands, Russia, Switzerland, etc) and probably three or four different languages being spoken. Quite international and cool
