Pete's Log: Log Entry 297
Entry #297, (Life in General)(posted when I was 21 years old.)
well, i have returned to the butte. we arrived yesterday at 7 pm mountain time after about 21 hours of driving. along the way we stopped at offut air force base to visit b.j. who is now stationed there. it is good to be back in the mountains, i feel at home again. of course, i'm still a ways from being used to the altitude, so i'll have to take it easy for a few more days. hopefully i'll be able to start running and lifting and biking soon, i've got about 5 or 6 weeks until the first race i want to run.
graduation was fun, we had a lot of bishops at the commencement mass, and kofi annan (sec. general of UN) gave our commencement address. the cse ceremony was kinda nice, we got order of the engineer rings. i didn't really like the fact that a lot of the awards given out were ones for specific classes that were elective/cpeg classes that i didn't take. so i felt some of my time was wasted. but oh well, people seem to like awards. the order of the engineer ring is pretty cool, it is a completely undecorated stainless steel ring worn on the little finger of the working hand. much more information is available at http://www.order-of-the-engineer.org/.
i was quite happy to finally find my "Battle Hymns" cd by the suicide machines. it had been missing for quite some time, and ranks among my favorite cd's.
am enjoying access to the history channel again. good stuff, that. barbecue at the rozman's tomorrow to celebrate richard's birthday. oma & papa will be here for that and for tommy's graduation.
