I haven't been sleeping well. Ever since picking up John and Wanke at the airport I have just felt off. I wake up tired and cannot get to sleep when it is late. This is not a good sign. Crunch time is upon us and I am not sure that I am prepared. I have been under more stress and come closer to losing it than this. I figure I will survive. I suspect that I will not be too happy until the end of the semester though.

I haven't accomplished NEARLY what I wanted to this break. Tomorrow is the last day of the break. I will finish up my 590d work hopefully. I suppose Monday can be the official 490-dsp day.

Today I gave up on coding. I have been becoming less and less productive each day so I took today off. I made serious progress in cleaning the house. Chris, Matt, and I had Chinese food for dinner. Ted a.k.a. [Jethro Bodine] showed up about 20:00. It was good to see him again. We sat around and shot the shit and drank beer and watched Futurama. Sara eventually joined us. I was hoping that Nikki a.k.a. [pitcher] would make an appearance after her sister's bachelorette party ended, but no such luck. Anyway a good time was had by all. I think Ted got bored, because he cut out earlier than I would have expected. I didn't want to plan too much given the spontaneous nature of the event, but I think we kept him occupied for a few hours at least. Hopefully after finals we can take a trip up to Chi-town and visit them.
