TGIF... almost

what a week....

especially just the past 2 days gives you a good picture of me lately.

wednesday: wake up at 9am, work on topology homework til noon... brief shower/lunch/stretch break, then on to experimental math homework from 12:30 til 2:30, when i had to leave for my 2:50-4:10 class... the prof rambled and went overtime big time, so we were there til after 4:30... came home, and worked on homework again from 5pm til 10pm straight... then over to the guys' house for mike and jared to analyze my finances for me... that lasted til 11:30ish, when i went back home, finished homework and immediately crashed... that was at 1am.... let me tell you -- 16 hour days of work are NOT fun.

thursday wasn't as bad, but still... classes from 11:30 til 2:30 straight, then i took mike to the financial aid office (this had dual purpose... i wouldn't go to see if they could do anything for my debt on my own, and mike's ankle is in a brace from monday night, so he can't drive)... after being in that line for forever, and confirming that my only options are private loans or debt consolidation on account of my fellowship, i took mike to the bookstore to pick up his textbooks, dropped him off at his house, and then was back on campus just in time for the experimental math seminar, which was pretty good.... (the guy who runs the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences was speaking... that got out at 5:30, when i promptly went home for "lunch" (no time from running around all day)... eric came over and we watched a movie, but colleen's VCR is screwy so while it was supposed to record joey and apprentice for me last night, it only recorded apprentice... then i worked until midnight after the movie, while watching the apprentice, then crashed. (i figured i earned a movie after wednesday and a long day thursday as well).

so finally, i'm here at friday... one class stands between me and the weekend... well, one class and pizza seminar. i'm in charge this year, so while i've no problem with harassing people to agree to be speakers and advertising for upcoming talks... ordering pizza through the department secretaries yesterday was new, and today i need to set up the room, get together half a dozen people to go get the freakin pizza, introduce the speaker, and clean up... it shouldn't be a big deal, but it's more than just coming and eating pizza like i've done before :-P... in short, i'll be relieved when i've been through the process once.... wish me luck!

time to get ready for class... oh joy, oh joy.

later dudes.
