It’s spring…

March 10th, 2006

  • It’s spring. I can tell because my body refuses to get more than 5 hours of sleep, and I can’t help bouncing regardless of how sick I’ve been. I have energy again.
  • Starting to reconnect to as many social groups as I legitimately can. There’s a friendly Swing crowd out there I just linked up with, there’s the Salsa crowd that I’m a presence in, there’s Cammies that eat up my weekend (Well, after easter at least), there’s the extended world of DPB (Which I just rejoined), there’s family, and there’s people who get personal emails/IM conversations on a regular basis.
  • I have a pubcrawl birthday party on the roster early April and a lot of pressure from that crowd to hold something similar for myself come May, even though my plans only involved inviting people to Benihana’s.
  • I’m taking a Tango, a Lindy, and a Jitterbug Class tomorrow after completing my Data Mining homework in the morning. Will hopefully make it to a Salsa lesson tonight. If you want to come along, please let me know Real Soon Now.
  • We reviewed our midterm in investments last night before it was handed out. During each problem I was thinking: Well, crap. I got that wrong. And… I got that wrong. And… I got that wrong. By the time we got through the problems and looked at the grade distribution, I was enviously staring at that one little blip on the bar chart indicating some lucky schmuck got above a 95, two above 90, two above 85…. hell, even the three above 70, because I was convinced I was either the 50, the 60, or one of the 65’s. Professor Sayrak starts handing out the papers, and I get mine. 98. Holy shit. The guy next to me looked at my expression of shock and gave me a wry grin- “That Bad, eh?” Luckily, that’s when Propriety kicked in and I gave a wry smile, biting back the urge to brag. “Better than I expected, though.” He smiled in that compatriot ‘we’re in the same boat’ way. If only he knew.
  • Dicks’ Sporting Goods doesn’t carry inline skates this early in the season. They mumbled something about late April. Fine- I have running shoes, and I’m taking a gamble and ordering online.
  • Suffering information overload. Go figure.
  • Loving life, and making the most of it.
  • I’m missing some people. Most of the Embassy, in fact- I haven’t seen them since NYE… well, except for JE, who shows to games but in the meantime seems to have disappeared into a strange and confusing world that bridges the gap between math and reality.
  • My lower back hurts. It’s been doing this on-and-off ever since I started here at Elliance. I think it has to do with the shitty chairs we used to have, and a tendency to slouch in a chair not meant for it when I’m conquering the Aztecs.
  • Buying into more Joss Whedon stuff to paralell/catch up with the semi-weekly Buffy/Angel watching group I’m now a part of.
