I always make my own schedule for school to try to get things done by a certain date or time so that I can stay ahead. It almost never happens, especially over longer breaks like this one. As with most spring breaks, most of the week will go by without doing any work at all, and then I’ll do some right at the end. I’ll never do as much as I had hoped, meaning that everything I have to do gets crammed into the next week or so. This week I’ve got to finish some work on a paper, read two papers and write some comments for them, grade and prepare for the next lab, and get going on another Theory of Computation assignment. It doesn’t seem like a lot, but I’ve got more irritating meetings and extra classes to deal with again.
Overall it was nice being home for an extended period of time, though my only wish was that I wasn’t injured. I did get to see Sarah quite a few times since she has an elliptical machine and I could use that one instead of going up to the local gym. She came over and ate dinner at my house one night, which was nice. We watched quite a few movies when I was on the machine, but finished only one or two since I only went for an hour at most.
It seems there is less and less a distinction between going home and school since there is always stuff I’ve got to do. I might go home again next weekend since my former roommates and teammates Dan and Jason are coming to run the Shamrock half marathon. I wanted to do the full marathon, but thanks to all this crap going on with my IT band, I can’t.
It’s nice with the time change that it stays lighter later. The sun angle is getting higher so it doesn’t look like the sun is perpetually setting. It does seem to be getting warmer too. A few days ago it was 75, but with seemingly hurricane force winds. A neighbor’s giant oak tree snapped in half and came crashing down into the lake. What a mess that made.
