Dave rides his bike to school

Here are some additional photos of Missoula, for your viewing pleasure…

Above: This guy’s going to business school? Unless I find a suit before Saturday, this is the photo that’s going in the Kellogg photo directory.  Yes, I’m one goofy-lookin’ cracker.  See #2 below.

I’m still in Missoula today because it looks like I don’t need to be in Great Falls until Friday or Saturday. As a result, I had a chance to hit up the U of M library again for another Internet fix.

Results:
1) I have reconfirmed that I’m an idiot. It turns out that I’ve been getting emails in my new Kellogg email account since March, and until today I had never checked that account before. Lo and behold, they’ve sent me all sorts of useful things. For example, they emailed me my housing contract, which I was supposed to return by June 22nd. Also, my student mentor sent me an email about a month ago, which I just now responded to. In addition, I got an email about a week ago informing me of which orientation trip I’ll be going on, which I’ve been wondering about for a long time. Luckily, I got the trip I wanted: windsurfing in the Dominican Republic (if that doesn’t kick arse, I don’t know what does). Oh yeah, and I learned the name of my future roommate. I sent him an email, so hopefully he’s more on top of the whole Kellogg email thing that I am.
2) I realized yesterday that I’m supposed to send in a photo of myself for the photo directory by July 1st. Given that I didn’t bring a suit and tie on my bicycle trip, I guess a photo of me at the KOA in my “Property of Jagermeister” T-shirt will have to do. That should make quite an impression… (don’t worry mom, I think they crop the photos so that just your neck/head appear. Or at least, let’s hope so).
3) The canoe rental guy left me a message saying that the trip that Tori and I want to do will cost $1,500. WHAT!? $1,500 to rent a canoe and equipment and float ourselves un-guided down the river for three days? That’s at least $1,000 more than I expected. I’ll talk to the rental guy, but it’s looking like Tori and I may be spending the 4th of July weekend in the very popular travel destination of Great Falls, MT, where the attractions include… uh, hmm, I’m gonna have to get back to you on that one. The backup plan is to drive to Glacier National Park, which wouldn’t be the worst way in the world to spend the weekend.
