Welcome to my blog!

Hey everyone. I was trying to decide what would be the best way to connect with you guys, and this is what I decided. I'll update this as much as I can, at least once a week. Some days there'll be a story, and others there'll just be a "just checking in". Regardless, I figured this was a good way to connect with all of you guys quickly and easily. I'll really quickly update you on what I've been doing recently; school started today- so that's always fun and excitig. I had Arc Design I and Arch and Culture I today, tomorrow I have Drawin I and Calculus. So grandma, don't be surprised if I give you a call and ask for help on my Calculus homework. I'm not very good with integrating on a z-plain with indefinite integrals, so I'll need you to help me brush up on that.

I've been going to alot of U-Events; a comedian, a dive-in movie (movie from the pool), 850 different "Welcome to Miami!" seminars, and so many more. Here are a couple pictures from my first few days.
My room so far-- you'll get an updated, less clean version in a few weeks I'm guessing



On the left is me with the Heisman trophy. I was tempted to do the Heismen pose, but I refrained from embarassing myself. If you couldn't tell yet, it was pouring outside.












And over here on the left is me sitting in the Miami conference war room, where Coach Shannon and company make all of their tough decisions.


And, finally, the above is a picture of me and the mascot, Sebastian the Ibis. He is NOT a duck, so don't call him one! He's an Ibis, which is the bird that is last to leave during a hurricane, and the first to come back after one is over.

Hope everything is going great at home! Don't forget to comment on this blog post, and we'll all be able to communicate through this.

Love you all lots,
Norman

  13. No "h" edward =] Just Mr. Nicol. And that's awesome. The first day, you have to make sure you let him know your my brother. We had an awesome relationship, he was such a great and hysterical teacher. You're going to love him. And hi grandma, I'm glad you're learning how to do this yourself. You too, Helen. You guys can be teammates.

  15. Good job grandma! And it has an early time for me too, I think it might be blog settings I messed up by accident. I'll look into it. Just so you know, the best way to comment will always be commenting on my most recent blog entry (the one closest to the top). Love you!
