Well, suffice to say it's been a while. I can't say that it's been terribly exciting around here. Well, stuff's been happening, some of it exciting. I guess it's been 2 weeks, so there's always something to say.
First up, like I mentioned last post, there was my string test. Wow did that suck. I didn't even finish it. It turned out way longer and harder than I thought. And on top of that I had to ask my Advisor for help. There's nothing like going up and asking for help from someone you're trying to impress. I feel so stupid because I really have no clue how easy or hard some of these things are. I mean, they're all hard to me right now, but how much of this, in a year or two, will be completely trivial? And because I'm asking Advisor about it, and he already thinks it's trivial, I just feel like he's thinking I'm "a retarded kitten". Arg. A very stressful week.
Then there was a nice 3 day weekend. Actually, a very productive weekend. I did some reading for my actual research. Played some FFXII. Lots of stuff done around the house and cleaned everything up. Sadly, due to being out helping Steph run a bunch of errands, I didn't get to watch much playoff action. I'm trying to make up for it this weekend. Watched the Bears destroy the Saints. Well, destroy might be a little strong. But they sure took over in the 4th quarter. And now I'm watching the Colts choke against the Patriots. I'm not sure I can stand another Patriots Superbowl. I must say, there are some things that I just hate about living in Boston. And listening to Boston sports fans is one of them.
Then there was the shortened week. Tuesday morning I got some work done, but then KH was in town. We spent the next few days wandering around Boston & Cambridge. It was very cold. The three of us went out to a couple nice restaurants here, including a nice Italian place in the North End. Lots of gossip I won't bother passing on. I had a good time, although I didn't exactly get much (any) work done. I'll let KH tell you what wonderful hosts Steph & I are. And then friday rolls around and I'm just not ready to do much of anything. I did do some reading, but I've got to say, I think I need some sort of motivation. Like doughnuts. And the possibility of more doughnts to come.

Could you use FFXII for motivation? Like, "If I finish this chapter/article/equation, I can play 15 minutes of FFXII." And then you could be all like, "Dude, 15 minutes isn't enough time to complete anything! Haven't you ever played FF before?" And then First You would be all like, "So I guess I'll have to read two articles/chapters/equations, won't I?" And Second You will be all, "Damn. I shoulda seen that coming."
I myself cannot say no to more video game after the expiration of a predetermined limit. I always say, "Oh, just ten more minutes. Ten more minutes never hurt anyone." And then I end up doing all my reading for class in the Metro. Sigh.
Yeah, I think everyone does that. I don't know what it is, but video games are a serious addiction. I'm looking at my FFXII game and it's already hit 30 hours in 3 weeks. Add in watching the playoffs and that's a lot of time spent not doing anything. I need a job that loves me for who I am - lazy.
