:-/

ben took his oral qual this morning (something i have to do in a year), and did not pass... he does get one more chance, but for all his work i'm sad that that was the result this go around. i know how much it sucked to fail the written qual from personal experience, so i have a notion of how much it sucks to fail the next one in the chain too, and i'm sad for him :-/

i didn't finish as much as i wanted for my reading class last night, and i'm behind on the combo homework that's due tomorrow, and i'm behind on stuff for the REU that i should be doing, etc. i feel swamped and like i'm not making anyone happy.... ugh

i will be so happy come 6pm tomorrow... 6? yes... instead of going home at 2:30, i have obligations on campus from 10am til 6pm tomorrow... then saturday i get to spend quality time at the car repair place... i need an oil change, plus i'm thinking i need brakework... or something... the car's been a little strange lately, i'm dreading seeing how much it'll cost if they figure out what needs to be tweaked.

sad for ben, overwhelmed for me... and in need of a hug... this semester is crazy.

in happier news, mine and alliswan's tickets for stomp came in the mail yesterday,.... *that* will be a fun week. :-)

later dudes
