This morning on Ray Rayner they had the winners from the jelly bean count. Nothing happened.

Clean out old files from computer; PCS wants $120 from Yumi for breaking the lease; the What-Nots (Kevin Northcutt's band) playing down at Whole Earth; call Case but we don't have much to talk about; we're both changing; stop by Kuumbwa; Yumi out playing poker with friends.

Read most of Farewell to Manzanar; call Grant; head downtown and stop to watch two girls dancing in their house; bad vibe in bar above the Redroom; get too drunk and wake up with a terrific hang-over.

Out on the scooter one night that Malathion is to be sprayed over the city; surreal; see a girl hitching for a ride outside of the Fish Grill on Beverly.

Arrive in Montreal; rooming with Fred, Dean, and Dan at our hotel; go out for pizza with some of the girls, then Fred and I walk up and down Ste. Catherine street; Montreal is cool because the people speak perfect French and English.

Nothing happened today.

Yumi and I take bus up to campus to eat breakfast; Lisa getting an HIV test, in a funk over finishing her dissertation; have one of Grandpa's navy pictures on my computer desktop; receive an email asking for The Last Vaudevillain review a.s.a.p.; see Yumi at Cabrillo.

Group-project is frustrating, and I'm confused about the major; first V.A. check finally arrives; Meggin calls with the news that Plouffis has died; I think Hal is growing weary of burying pets; call Mom to pass along the news; she and Tom are making cakes for Owen's wedding.

Rich goes away for a week to an intensive Forum “camp”, to get over his fear of heights; he says that he’s going to cross over a rope bridge spanning a gorge; Claire is hysterical, saying that he’ll kill himself; when he comes back he’s pretty quiet about the whole thing, and I wonder what happened.

Miss Poly Sci and French because I oversleep; because I need to finish research on a paper, I also miss English; Mrs. Delaney tells me the work is inadequate, and to get my life organized; race home to pack for Canada; Fred's parents take us to O'Hare; have time to think about how to straighten my life out.
