It's been a while

Not really sure what to put up here anymore. Really haven't updated any of my blog sites lately. I suppose Twitter has taken the helm for posting the minutiae (how do you pronounce that, my-nooshy?) of goings-on, but I do feel like I've been lazy on this front, too.

Midterms were brutal. I had an emo-moment, but then it passed and I got over it. I rocked one, fared average on the other, and tanked the third. I suppose I can't complain about it too much. I need to work on my group's lab report. We have some data that verifies findings in other papers, o I guess that's worth noting. Though some of our ideas aren't exactly flushed out. We need to find more theory besides dimensional analysis.

I went to the UofA football game with my dad's family this past weekend. It went well, I think. The UofA won by a landslide. It also helped that it was homecoming weekend. But all in all I think I've seen maybe 5 football games in my entire life? I don't know. I had fun at the UofA game, but it's such a time investment, which is why I hardly ever went to any games. I find that I'm starting to care a little bit more sports, but it comes and goes in phases.

The other math folk here are pretty cool. I like to think we 10 full-time first year's are getting along well. I don't hang out with all of them on a regular basis, but I try and hang out with them in different ways. I've met a couple of the second and third years, and they seem to have gotten in the swing of things. I think now the department is mostly 1-3rd years. Craziness.

Though school has kept me busy from doing other things. I need to go see more movie. I need to finish playing video games I bought a year ago (I'm looking at you, Okami! I might just have to restart since I don't even remember where I left off). Though I have been down to 4th Avenue and University Blvd. a lot more than as an undergrad (I've also consumed a lot more bagels and tea), and that's been pretty good. I opted to not drive after 3 beers last week. I'm a pansy when it comes to drinking, I know, but I never want to get as drunk as at my 21st birthday party (I thought the movie S.W.A.T. with Collin Ferrel was a f****in masterpiece).

I'm survivin' on the math front. I'm doing all right on the family front. My cousin wants to buy a house, but given his massive student loans and the still rough market, no one will give him a loan. So he's gonna sell the truck he bought last year for almost no loss (I'll miss you, Taco the Tacoma!) and put a dent in those loans. It makes me glad in that sense that I don't have any loans to worry about. Yet.

When is the cable bill due?

(Goes and pays cable bill)

Isn't the internet amazing?

So if I don't see you before I see you, you know where to find me. In the red and white striped sweatshirt and the sockcap.
