    Just moved in

    I just moved into my dormitory room at the University. I have been wearing my Sport Kilt the whole time, since it's so dang hot in Southern California. I have a double occupancy room, but I do not have a roommate. I'm double majoring in Liberal Arts and Computer Science.

    I have received only positive comments, and my RA said something along the lines of how cool it was that I had the guts to wear it. Other comments like "Nice kilt!" and such have followed me throughout the day.

    Here's a picture that I took with my MacBook:

    Congratulations and good luck with school. That's awesome that you don't have to share the room. I couldn't really see the kilt that good in the picture, but either way i'm glad to hear you're getting good responses.

    Don't sweat the room mate. With liberal arts and computer science you are well equipped to start a fight in an empty room. No room mate required.

    Good on you for kilting on campus.

    Thanks a lot.

    McMurdo, thanks for lightening up the pic. I don't have photoshop installed yet, or my digital camera (one item on a long list of what to get from home next time I swing by), so I'm limited to what my laptop can get.

    Yes, I'll probably have to fight myself at some point. I like to engage myself in Socratic dialogues, so I generally end up feeling irritated at myself for nitpicking at my beliefs. Can't I leave me alone for once? Jeez…

    My majors are chosen because I a) want to be a priest; and b) don't want to starve.

    If anyone's wondering, that large green and gold picture on the right is a hand-written Byzantine style icon of St Kevin of Glendalough, my name saint. My dad commissioned it a while ago as a gift.

    Well, classes start tomorrow, and I'm going to try to make a good impression, so I'll wear my wool kilt (Saffron SWK heavyweight). Wish me luck!
