Geez guys, I am so sorry for being so irresponsible on my Christmas break, but it was worth it! Now I have my brand new laptop - Apple Powerbook G4 (which just dropped in price over the past three days since I have had mine, but that is only my luck anyway) - so I have no reason to slack on updating my website. It might take me a couple of days to put up pictures, though, because I am still learning how to play with this thing. So please be patient with me until I get everything set up and I promise that jodibell.com will get much better everytime you look at it! hee hee.

By the way, the little alien is my new instant message icon that is a visual representation of myself, at least after having spent 10 days with this wierd sci-fi-loving computer science boy who I just can’t seem to get rid of/enough of (just kidding honey - only about the “get rid of” part, the rest is completely true).
Speaking of my boy, Quinn and I had a great time in Italy. He spoiled me to death.
Thank you very much to everyone who helped me get my computer. It has already made its first visit with me to my cafe on the corner so I could play with it while drinking my coffee like only true hackers do….hee hee

And Quinn finally made it home safely, after spending 8 hours in the Paris airport because of a flight delay with a really really bad sore throat (he looked so pitiful), which eventually caused him to spend the night in Philadelphia, so he just got home early this morning. He didn’t sound as sick as he did when I left him though….

My first day of school went really well. I am really excited about my studio project because I will be working with Jessica by choice, and we are going to create something incredibly weird I am sure. I was also asked by my French teacher to move up to the smart class (we have a smart class and a dumb class for those of us who just don’t think very coherently at 9 a.m., especially in a different language), but I am definitely not accepting the invitation because then I might have to wake myself up on Wed. mornings when Becky would have class after me, and if I have made it this far in Paris without any type of time piece, I am not about to get one now!

So you guys have a great life until the next time I update, hopefully with pictures, but I promise it will be very soon.
