mid-term

Just past half-way through my first semester at grad school.  I feel like I'm tired all the time!  It's definitely pushing me and it's a lot of work, but I'm really enjoying what I'm learning, and my colleagues are some great people.

A perk was getting to play with Lego this week, while learning about faceted classification.  Higher education ftw :)

Phil is so warm & dorky - I love it.  If they ever actually print this book of "Phil's-osophy", I will definitely purchase it and read it whenever I need a smile :)

coffee & donuts.

Finally got to try 49th Parallel on Main today.  Delicious coffee in very pretty ceramics, and with Lucky's Donuts located within, I couldn't resist the temptation to try that too.

After a very stressful week, it was nice to get together off-campus and relax a little, while still being productive.  Very nice space to get work done, and not crazy busy on weekdays - this is the part of student life I missed.
