For better or worse, my picture from the volleyball game was printed in the Tech on Friday. The picture was the best out of a crappy bunch, so I'm not posting it here. But it was still cool to see my name printed under the photo.

Life here seems to have gotten much busier over the past couple of weeks, mainly because I actually have work to do at work now, instead of being able to just check my email and do my homework. Eventually, I'm supposed to be doing error analysis of the navigation system on a missile, but for right now, I'm just reading and becoming thoroughly confused about discrete Kalman filters. Classes are okay... astrodynamics is cool, especially since Battin is teaching it - life is never dull with an 82 year old professor. Stochastic Estimation & Control sucks, but hopefully it'll help me out a lot with the work that I'll be doing at Draper.

Yesterday LeeAnn and I went to Starbucks and worked on homework. LeeAnn is a friend of mine from undergrad who just finished a year in AmeriCorps and is now starting law school in Boston. After three and a half hours at Starbucks, we both reeked of coffee, but I got a lot of homework done. Plus, I've now learned that I don't want to go to law school, which is one more thing to cross off the list of "things to be when I grow up" ... only 1,123,874 left to go.

On Friday I went to a housewarming party for a friend of a friend. It was actually a lot of fun, considering that I knew only two people there. The hosts were a couple of Irishmen and an Incan. Ahh... accents.

Today is shaping up to be a regular ol' student Sunday: heading over to the Z Center this morning to lift, back home to shower, eat, and do homework until 6pm, when I have to be back on campus for the Tech meeting. Free dinner, photo assignment for next week, then back home to do more studying for my exam on Wednesday. But next week will be a short week because work is closed on Friday (something to do with the A/C repair...?) and it'll be a long weekend since next Monday is Columbus Day. Plus, I'm looking forward to the General visiting. :)
