I want to write more, even though I really have nothing to say. I am now half-finished with finals week. My logic final is on Thursday, and my computer science final is on Friday, and my flight home is on Friday afternoon. I really need this break. I need to have nothing hanging over my head. I have not been sleeping so well since that rainy night ( Read more... )

There's no programming, so I'm not quite sure what the class is supposed to be.
