Wait, where did July go?

Between work, Shakespeare plays, chemistry experiments, riding my bike, finding a new apartment and moving out of my old one, July went by so quickly that this month's entry is going to be a lot shorter than most. Here's a brief list of some things I did this month:

• Visited the family grave. My grandfather, aunt, and three cousins are all buried in the same double plot. It's getting crowded down there!  Ate sno-cones.
• Bought the coolest Beatles t-shirt ever!
• Passed my Shakespeare midterm with ease and my chemistry midterm with blood, sweat, and tears. I just took my chemistry final last week and am still nervously awaiting the results.
• Finally watched Andrew Birkin's 1978 JM Barrie bio-pic The Lost Boys.
• Attended an art gallery exhibit of children's photographs of the Baton Rouge FEMA trailer park where they lived after Hurricane Katrina. The kids themselves were at the reception.
• Ate lunch with my boss and co-workers.

Shakespeare Quote of the Month: "But thy eternal summer shall not fade." -- Sonnet 18. This quote perfectly describes Louisiana in July (or August, or June, for that matter). It was even quoted by the campus newspaper in a weather report.
