a strangely CUEMS-y weekend...

 I spoke with more people from CUEMS this wkend than I thought I would...jcheng, perlman, khadem, allende. brief comms w/magidson. It's nice to know how everyone's doing. even better to know that most ppl doing well. good luck to the CCIT's, working their way up!

aahhhhhhhhh so the wkend was: mj/monopoly night on friday, saturday cal/tenn game (GO BEARS!!), sun rest/recover/essay, mon lunch w/grandmom/essays. its been such a disorienting weekend too. bleh. got to see kat when watching the game w00t! now only need to organize a brief jaunt up to seattle for more fun...i mean, what else are long weekends for, other than traveling to see people who matter? (aside from catching up on sleep/food/work, saving money, etc.) ok so im not making that much sense, but i DO wanna travel as much as i can, esp around the states this year. maybe one hurrah outta the country somewhere cold/warm (i'm thinking...alaska, then hawaii/carribean?) we'll see.
