halfway

by mo on 10/15/2008

I have been utterly silent for the first half of this semester. Being way too busy has not been good for me, but now that physics has ended (hooray for half-semester classes) my commitments have slightly diminished. In case you’re wondering what I’ve been doing for the past 7.5 weeks, here’s a summary:

Week 1: Nothing. Hung out with Marquis?

Week 2: Mostly nothing. But, ACM Open House, and played Capture the Flag in Krannert.

Week 3: Teaching CS173 started up for the semester. Went to EXPO Career Fair. Visited freshmen CS classes to get kids to volunteer for Reflections|Projections. Joey visited!

Week 4: Went to Pygmalion. Saw the Headlights for the millionth time:

And Asobi Seksu, which was awesome, particularly when she started drumming out of the blue during the last song. 嬉しいけど、君は私が嫌い。

Week 5: Took an exam. Got my ear pierced:

Week 6: Took an exam. Spent the entire weekend helping make Reflections|Projections happen. Which was excellent. Took some EXTREMELY artistic photos in the ACM office:

Standing in lines, alternately drinking things or wearing R|P lanyards is the coolest:

So good:

More office chilling:

Week 7: Took an exam. Attempted to recover lost sleep. Saw Seth Cohen’s favorite band:

AND OH MY GOD NOAM WAS HERE.

Week 8 (this week): Took a final. Considered my housing situation for next year, and my schedule for next semester.

The rest of this week holds:
-one more exam (tomorrow)
-a killer weekend when Ykel visits from Colorado.

And, with my newly earned 7+ hours a week that comes with the end of physics, I plan to:
-watch presidential debates
-read about the upcoming election and current financial crisis
-sleep more often
-organize my inbox (ha ha ha)
-read MJBP’s blog about Kyoto because I want to go there.
