yay

things to look forward to:

spring break is next week, hence lara is going to have some fun.

* friday, jessica's coming up to visit. we haven't gotten to hang out since december (i had been studying non stop for a few months and avoiding too much fun during that bit course). the plan is to get dinner and then hang out in front of the TV/dvd player. my grad school friends don't bond that way with me, so i'm just looking forward to an enjoyably lazy evening. it's always good to catch up with old friends where you don't have to be doing something horribly dramatic to have a good time. :P

* scott and i have decided to re-create spring break of 2 years ago... (see this post). after i had visited my friend marianne at dartmouth that break, i had been to every state east of the mississippi river except delware, which was just 1.5 hours away... so i convinced scott to go to delaware for lunch with me, and we ended up making a day of it (quite literally)... it was a blast. mostly it was so fantastic because there was no itinerary whatsoever... things along the lines of "have you ever seen (fill in the blank)? it's only 100 miles away" determined the day. this time, though, we're going north instead of south... scott's never been to VT, NH, ME, or RI, so we'll help him knock those off the list. i am incredibly looking forward to a trip with no goals except "take ridiculous pictures at state lines"... and to being able to get out of the car in the middle of nowhere with a good friend and just scream at the top of my lungs and not care. it'll be a fantastic release of stress. :P a week from now, you can look forward to the post about "maine trip 2006". guaranteed to be a blast.

* perhaps, after maine, jessica and i will get to get together again. that would be great too, so keeping fingers crossed.

summary: i have good friends, and non-math plans 3 fridays running now... my life is significantly more entertaining than it's been in months. :)

the end.
