Assorted happenings

Alright, it's time for an update, no matter how disorganized my thoughts are.

Most of my major projects for the term are over. Last week I had a presentation for chem that I was pretty stressed about, but it turned out alright. I had a crazy day where I simply powered myself up on caffeine and went to the library to work on it for 4 hours straight, which I then followed with a run and more homework at about midnight. I'm glad it's past though. I've got a physics midterm on Friday, and the fourth paper is still to come. We got the topics this Monday, and one looks pretty good. Unfortunately, my conference leader said last week that they're going to have us revise the third paper, which is lame. I don't want to work on two papers at once again. I'll need to start the fourth paper early so I have something to continue on once my attention is split with the revision.

Next year I won't have to write papers at all. I'll have to write a lot of lab reports, but those are different and much easier. I'm looking forward to it.

Philosophy class has been canceled twice now, both on Tuesdays. Each time, I've found out by coming into class, observing zero people at the start time, and going downstairs to check my email and see what's up. Each time, my teacher had emailed us around 11. Class starts at 2:40. I don't blame him for emailing us on short notice; you can't do much about illness in that regard. What amazes me is that apparently everyone else in the class (which is about 20 people), both times, had the opportunity to AND actually did check their email within that little 4-hour window.

This weekend GP invited me and Philosopher-Linguist over for dinner and we had a nice time. I hadn't seen GP in a quite a while so it was nice to see her again. They seemed to get along pretty well, and we went out to Pix afterward.

Roomie decided not to go away next semester, which makes me happy.

That's about all I can think of for now. I'm making up my wish- and shopping-lists for Christmas but neither is well-populated yet.
