post Cold pre Roadtrip

Holy crap.

**huff** **huff** **huff**

I am out of breath.

The last ten or so days, but the last week in specific has been crazy. Busy. A blur.

And to top it all off, I was sick with a rather brutal cold at the time. However you add that up, that algebra sucks!

But I got it all done and am currently in a much better mood. I’m still stuffy, but being stuffy is leaps and bounds better than earlier in the week when I felt like a family of slime-covered beavers were having a fight inside my head.

This week I turned in two major papers, one lab report, led two study sessions for undergrads in my TA class, worked on setting up meetings for my spring break, and churned out two summer internship applications. I didn’t watch TV and I harly played any video games.

But that’s over and fun times are in store.

In about an hour or so, we’ll be headed to the Bing to hang out with Nick and Kate and watch tomorrow’s St. Patrick’s Day parade. And if you’re scratching your head thinking that I must have my dates mixed up, well guess what genius, I don’t.

Binghamton, NY gets the big NYC bagpipe bands several weeks before St. Pat’s so they can practive for the big parade in the city. So Binghamton throws a parade too and tons of people come out and we hang out with Kate’s family and watch the whole specticle and it is awesome.

Also, there’s usually breakfast pizza who’s awesomeness goes with out saying.

So yeah, good times.

Seacrest: out.

(does he even say that any more? I’m like a million years old.)

Chowder, Snow, and Simmering Stress…

So, I had Manhattan Clam Chowder for lunch today. I’m a big fan of the New England variety, but hadn’t had the red stuff before. I wasn’t sure I would like it. But, surprisingly, it was pretty good.

I’m not sure my stomach agrees with me though.

I know, I know. This entry is staggeringly interesting so far, huh?

It’s snowing here in Vermont. Again. It sure is pretty, but it doesn’t make me want to stay here on campus and get work done. It makes me want to go home and crawl under a blanket. And I have a good amount of work to do this weekend.

But the weekend will also most likely involve cheeseburgers and going out for beers, so it won’t be all bad.

And after next week, the stress level and the busyness should ease a little.

Can’t wait for that.

My Desk

I’m writing a paper tonight and will be for most of the weekend.

This is what my desk looks like at this very moment.

I like beer. It lubricates the mind.
