Nott What You'd Expected...

Small World

We've hit critical mass at the flat. Islamic Tradition papers in progress, 4 or 5 of us (myself, procrastinatingly not included) are typing like madmen and -women to get the 50%-of-final-grade papers done and perfected by Thursday (Thanksgiving for godssakes)

to compile matters, extrapolate? things.....i have no idea where that gem of a word came from...., anyway, our internet is messed beyond reason, and the gang is pissed....

In other awesome news, this blog is being viewed from all over the world. Literally. I don't know how that could have been taken figuratively, but the idea remains true.....

I will say that having friends studying in Tanzania and Switzerland definitley adds to the mystique of having such a far range of readers, but it's still pretty cool how random the visitors are.... At this point, the following shows how many unique IP adresses have looked at it... (could be the same person on a different computer, or something... i don't totally understand it at this point, but it's great for an ego boost every once in a while....)
