That up there is the view from my balcony a few minutes ago. I don't like it being dark out at 5:30. It makes me feel like I lost my day somewhere in there. At least I'm not in lab until 5:30; I've had to do that before, and then it really feels like you're wasting away in lab. On the up side, we have a full moon tonight!

(everyone who's not Patrick can ignore this)

Happy 3rd anniversary, sweetie. I love you!

So...not much of interest to say since my last post, but I figured it's almost been a week. I've been staying up too late every night (too late being 2am for me, even though I know lots of other people consider this a fine time to go to bed). The thing that sucks is that I'm not even using that time relaxing, I guess I just have more work. I'm paying for it though; I have a sore throat. But of all the ailments to have, I think a sore throat is one of the best.

I took the first Human Sexuality midterm today, and I think I did fine. It helps that it was all multiple choice and true/false. Now I just have an essay to write for tomorrow, then I can relax and enjoy Fall Break. Only, you know I won't really take a break during Fall Break. I'll sleep in for a few extra hours and spend the rest of the time doing grad school stuff and working on typography. I don't mind though...

Damn, I'm hungry. I have food in my room, but it's almost dinnertime, so I'd feel bad eating right now. I'm clearly not hedonistic enough...

Those are some letters we were analyzing in Forensics lab today. We were trying to figure out which typewriter made the three e's on the right. Anyway, I thought it looked kinda cool, so there you go.

Whew...I'm sleepy. I don't know why, but I've ended up staying up later than usual all this week. The sad thing is, I wasn't off socializing or doing fun stuff...I guess it's just taking me longer to get all my work done. Oh well.

Today was National Coming-Out day, so PRISM (People Respecting Individuals' Sexuality at Mudd) had this great setup at the back of Platt with ribbons to wear and door signs and candy. I was very impressed. I'm glad we have a group like PRISM...I wish I had more time/motivation to participate because I definitely support the concept of the club. On a related note, I've been voted secretary of the chem club a second year in a row (probably because nobody ran against me). So you see--I am involved in the Mudd community :)

The CNF Photo Album is back up! Go take a look and tell me if anything is still buggy. I'll probably put a more permanent link around here later... Many thanks to my dear sweet Patrick for fixing the server and helping get things back up. Back to the homework now...
