School hits back with force

I foresee now the first "working weekend" of this quarter. Sofar I have more or less had my weekends off, in fact I believe I've been climbing every weekend since we returned from Lake Tahoe after the New Year. But that's over now. Now we're gonna move into fasten-your-seatbelts gear and try to hang on 'till the end of the quarter.

Despite my initial reticences I'm taking two core courses together along with a depth course in my speciality, so, it was bound not to be easy. And the homeworks are lining up now. I have homeworks in Architecture and in Sequence and Structure to finish this weekend. Which would be alright if they hadn't told us yesterday too that we had to write up a bioinformatics project proposal for Sunday too. And one of the articles I have on my desk for the OS class is the one on Sprite, only about 30 pages long!

Too bad! And me who thought I was gonna have fun this weekend. Maybe even go out drinking! I'm invited to a party on Saturday. First time a private friend of mine (all the people I've known so far I have met through C, my only social network node ...) invites me anywhere. (Well, second time actually, she invited me to a beach party last quarter but I didn't make it ...) I feel compelled to go finally that somebody invites me, knowing though that all the people I will meet there will be 10-15 years younger than me!

Tonight we're going out with P&R. They are in town for business and we are gonna do Saska's again and have some "seared Ahi". I cherish the fact that P&R live only 50 minutes away. Almost like having family here ...!
