Mosquitoes!!!

Is that how you spell "mosquitoes?" I hope so. Anyway, I'm not sure what else I can say here that I haven't already said in the mass e-mail except to rant about mosquitoes! This morning I woke up with at least 8 new mosquito bites on my right arm and two giant ones on my right leg. My legs have been doing well with not getting bitten but my arms are pretty scary from the elbows down - they're the only thing that show during the night! I also have more than a few mosquito bites on my neck and a couple on my face. I guess I'm just so sweet they can't stay away :-) Actually I have no idea - it has to have something to do with body chemistry because I'm the only one getting bitten like this and everyone's diet is basically the same. Maybe other people get bitten too and just don't react as violently as I do. Don't worry Grandma, I put up the mosquito net and I won't get a secondary infection :-) I killed two mosquitoes earlier, actually, which is quite a feat! I don't know how they manage it but usually I'll see one and follow it for a second or two hoping for it to land or come close enough for me to kill it but then just as I go to do it, the thing disappears. Literally disappears right in front of my face! Mosquitoes are little magicians, I just know it. But TWO, I got two earlier! One of them landed on my wall and I smacked the wall so hard that I had to make sure I didn't jam my wrist. Small price to pay for getting the little bugger. I'm sitting under my mosquito net right now and I saw a mosquito sitting on the outside of it. Sucker!

I must need some sleep :-)

Right now I'm really in to the show Prison Break! You can imagine that the lifestyle here is a bit slower than back in the States. Also, the weeks are so rough with school and everything that on the weekend I need time to just sit and be a vegetable to be ready for the next week. Anyway, I've been watching the first season of Prison Break pretty much nonstop and it's incredible. I highly recommend it! If you do start watching it though, don't be put off by the cheesy dialogue and suspect acting skills - power through the first few episodes and you won't even notice after a while! :-)

Speaking of Prison Break...I'd better get back to it :-)

P.S. Go OSU!!!
