unbelievably gorgeous day. sunny and 80's, my face is sunburned a little but i'm happy. the first of my new no-work-wednesdays and i stayed on campus all day long, caught up on all of my reading and wandered through cafes and the bookstore. walked through parts of campus i'd not been to before, just to explore.
visited my summer professor whom i love. she agreed to write me a grad school recommendation, one little box checked off, long long column of them still empty but i think i have it figured out. i think i have it under control. i told her about my master plan and she didn't laugh, so that's something. she didn't snicker at my oppenheimer caveat, either. will did, but that's to be expected.
in historical we are learning about the comparative method for reconstructing proto-languages. i get it, so that's nice.
study group tonight. srini's talk at icsi tomorrow ("Beyond Keyword Search: Semantic Structures for Question Answering"). meet collin friday. midterms next two weeks. statement of purpose draft within two weeks.
so my life is set. it all (mostly) fits into my schedule and i've relaxed into the pace and now i just have to follow through. all of this having things lined up is new for me. i've been feeling a little boring lately but maybe that's just another word for grownup. no time for hard living when i have all those unchecked boxes...
now i have just enough time for a little nap before i go back into the fray.
