This is more fun than Matrix Algebra any day.

Today, there's Green Forest. Tomorrow, there's Rocky Horror in Dormont. Sunday, maybe there's gaming?

And where does work fit into this whole schedule?

Yay for midsemester break and the fun times we fit into it. (This has worked pretty well on short notice considering I originally thought my midsemester break was next week.)

Once again, I participated in Alpha Phi Omega's team for Relay For Life (you can get more info about the event at www.relayforlife.org/pacmu). This year, I beat my old record by walking 108 laps (27 miles) over the course of 9.5 hours. It was actually helpful to NOT take breaks, since breaks can cause your legs to feel stiffer and unwilling to ( Read more... )

Anyone want to watch the Penguins game later tonight? I'd really like to catch this game, but I don't have a good enough TV, and company would be fun too. I'm more reachable by phone today ( Read more... )

As a reward for having gotten some really awesome book work done yesterday, I had a day where I spent until 5pm relaxing at home (playing SNES and some other stuff), and then I played ITG on campus pretty much from 6pm to 10pm (with other people taking turns too, giving all of us more breaks). These kinds of days can be pretty awesome.

Finally, with the exception of my students' final exams, grading is done for the semester! This makes me inordinately relieved ( Read more... )
