Last night, I dreamed that I was rolling over some hard boiled eggs on the ground with the wheels of my desk chair. Haha. Actually, thinking about it just now made me laugh out loud in the library... whoops.
In the next three weeks I have to:
- finish two projects (which include papers and presentations)
- start and finish one project (along with a paper and presentation as well)
- make a poster
- study for and do well on a midterm
- finish 2 of 7 parts on a homework assignment
- start and finish two homework assignments
...scwooed?

Having recently moved to California, I had to open up a new bank account, as the one I had prior was just local. I decided to bank with Bank of America, for no good reason other than that they have many conveniently located ATM machines around town and on campus. However, I discovered that other services may not be so convenient. Today I went to deposit three checks, but I had to fill out a deposit slip first. At my old bank, this was not necessary. However, at Bank of America, this meant that I had to fill out my name, address, the amount of each check, and the total amount I was depositing before going to the teller. Grudgingly, I did this, but I also had come to deposit a bag of change I have accumulated over the past 3 months. I expected BoA to have a coin sorter, as my old bank did, but I discovered that the branch I was at did not have one and was told to COUNT AND ROLL MY OWN CHANGE! How lame! So after depositing my checks, I had to sit down to count and roll my change and then fill out another deposit slip with the amount ($8.28 in pennies, nickels, and dimes) before getting BACK in line again. What a waste of my afternoon.
1. If you like driving and would like to be part of a neat research project to determine traffic conditions using GPS technology, my professor is looking for volunteers to drive around with new Nokia N95 phones on a ten mile segment of I-880 in Union City, CA. You will be paid, and also have the chance to win one of the phones. To learn more about the experiment, go here.
2. For concert-going enthusiasts and music junkies, my friend Jerry frequently blogs about upcoming shows in the Bay Area: hey! let's go to concerts in san francisco. He does a really good job, so check it out!
You may have seen this before, but I hadn't... thanks to Larsen for the link!

I've basically cut out everything in my life save for eating, sleeping, showering, and answering emails, and I am still doing homework, working on projects, going to class, or studying from morning to night. It's stressful, but I'm in a program with good professors (with the exception of one) and really friendly, really supportive students so it's been alright. I may not post for awhile, but you can pretty much assume what I'm up to and be correct: working.
Do NOT put off things in grad school. I have had seven hours of sleep in the past two days... it's been just wonderful.
