If Phillip Weren't an American, He Might Be of Some Other Nationality

Today was by far the most fun I've had with Phillip since last week. I don't know where to begin. This morning Phillip and I took a morning walk around campus, just to get some good ol' fresh air. He loves nature, and I think he tries to commune with it. Getting to know the spiritual side of Phillip is always interesting. I think that he was an old ruggish pioneer in his past life and went on the trek to map out the West for the United States. He strikes me as that type of person. Minus the typhoid! :) So we made our way to the rec center and geared up for some raquetball. Phillip has a lot of learning to do, but he is so persistent, and a quick learner. He'll get the hang of it! Then we headed over to the cafeteria for some grub. We were both famished. And then Phillip did something even more amazing than the garlic incident. He pulled out his Calculus homework and started working on it! Right at dinner! Everyone began to crowd around him. And boy, did they get a show. He was solving equations and eating Jell-o faster than the speed of a really really fast airplane. I kid you not. I'm really proud of how hard he works. I really enjoy eating dinner with Phillip. He always gives exotic names to the desserts. He calls the banana pudding that they serve "Bananrama Express". And the chocolate cake "Gulf War Syndrome: The Sequel". He doesn't really like the chocolate cake... But I admire his creativity a ridiculous amount. What will he think of next? Who knows! :)
