Alarming Rarity

Today was another busy day. It is that time of the quarter where busy becomes the norm. I even set my alarm and woke up early this morning to get work done before class. That has been a rarity this quarter.

Back to Work

Today has been a busy day back. The next two weeks will be busy. The quarter is almost over. There are only two essays and two final exams in my way. That, and a lot of stress.

About to Leave

Today is my last day home. It has been nice to be home and with the family. It won't be super nice to get back to college and have a bunch of exams to start studying for and an essay to work on almost immediately upon my return.

Bowling Together

Today was a fun day home. We went bowling as a family. This time, I didn't hit my foot with the ball. It has been nice being home. It will be difficult to get back into school mode when I return to Bellingham tomorrow.

Black Friday Golden

Today was Black Friday. I don't usually go shopping. I actually usually try to avoid stores. However, today was different. It was an experience being out with the crowd. I even ended up buying myself a few things, so the checker was correct in assuming I didn't want a gift receipt.

Thanksgiving

Today is Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful for family and being able to eat a really tasty meal with them.

Ride Home

Today I got a ride home. It took longer than normal, but it is nice to be home with the family. It will also be nice to see extended family tomorrow, even though it will mean another extended car ride.

Done Day

Today I only had one class. It is nice to be on break now and I look forward to seeing the family and eating a lot of good food.

Cold

Today it is cold outside. Very cold. Painfully cold. The ground is covered in ice, high temperatures are nowhere near freezing level and wind gusts are approaching sixty miles an hour. I can't remember the last time winter was so painful.

Early Thanksgiving

I celebrated Thanksgiving early. And ate a lot of good food.

Snow Much Fun

Today my old roommate and good friend is visiting Bellingham. It should be fun. We got quite a bit of snow last night. It was a lot of fun to play outside in the snow with friends until the early hours of the morning.

Tired Day

Today I was tired all day. It wasn't very surprising because I didn't get much sleep last night. I think today was a new record for number of meetings cancelled/postponed with somewhere around 4.

Missing and Confusing

Today one of my professor was gone because she is in China. We were supposed to watch a movie in her class today, but nobody ever showed up with the movie. Eventually, after looking for the movie online, we all decided to leave. In my economic class I had a quiz. The questions are designed to be tricky. Hopefully not too many of were successful in doing so.

Presented

Today I finally had my group project presentation. I am very glad to have it over with. The presentation itself actually went well. The class laughed at my political science jokes and somebody told me "good job" after class. Icing on the cake.

Project Pains

Today has been a very busy day. I have a group project presentation tomorrow and found out yesterday that the direction I had prepared to go was not really the way the rest of the group was going so I've basically had to start over. After tomorrow, I will feel much better and be a lot less stressed. That is the hope at least.

Hectic Monday

Today has been a very busy and hectic day. I think the next few days will be like that. I will survive and probably eat a lot of cake as well.

Day to Relax

Today was mostly spent relaxing and trying to work on homework. Hopefully, I can get some more of it done before tomorrow. If not, tomorrow morning will be spent entirely on homework.

Work and Fun

Today was a relaxing day. I went to an art show. I also worked on some homework and should probably work on some more homework.

Nice Day Out

Today it was clear and sunny outside. After working out, I spent the rest of the afternoon outside enjoying the nice weather because there aren't too many of them left for the foreseeable future.

Veterans Day

Today has been a fun day. It has felt like the weekend, even though it technically isn't. Also, thanks to all the veterans.

Strong Weekend Start

Today my weekend started after my only class of the day got out, and it got out much earlier than normal. My apartment also bought a Wii which has been fun, a lot of fun. What a great start to the weekend. Now if I can only get my group project done.

Busy Day

Today has been a busy day with nonstop meetings and classes for a large majority of the day. Thankfully, my weekend will officially start Wednesday at 4:00pm. Also, I did well on a midterm I got back today which I am also thankful about.

Scary Times

Today there was a robbery right by where I was walking when I was returning from class. It sounds like everyone is okay but they are still looking for the suspects. It is scary.

Fall Back

Today it was nice to get "an extra hour" of sleep with Fall Back. I was thinking about staying up until 2:00am to watch the clocks travel backwards through time. Instead, I decided I could use more sleep and go to bed when I usually do and get up an hour "later" than normal. It was nice.

Run Around

Today I woke up early for a Saturday and went running. I have gone running three days in a row which historically wouldn't mean much, but it has been quite some time since I last ran three days in a row.

Infestation

Today is the start of the weekend, a much needed weekend. We had a slight fruit fly infestation I have been dealing with all day. I think they are all about gone, at least things are cleaner so they won't have as much food.

Life Goes On

Today was a long day of classes. I turned in my essay. I also got back one of my midterms, the first large graded thing I have gotten back all quarter. I didn't do nearly as well on it as I hoped and thought which was very disappointing. Life goes on.

Not so Rough

Today was mostly spent working on my essay that is due tomorrow. I have been chipping away at it for over the past week, but it was by no means finished. I am fairly happy with how it turned out, and actually enjoyed the topic I was writing on once I finally figured out what that was. I only have to turn in a rough draft tomorrow. However, it is graded and worth 20% of my grade in the class so it can by no means be a very rough draft. It will be nice to turn it in tomorrow and have a few days to finally relax with no major project or test for the next couple days.

Season Finale

Today I had my economics midterm. It went about as I expected, which was not too bad. Now I just need to go to town on my essay due Thursday and then I can finally relax a little bit before I start to work on my group project. Thankfully, midterm season is coming to an end.

Back to the Books

Today I only had 15 minutes of class. That might be a first. After a long, fun weekend, it is time to get work done.
