My week has been rather hilly. The end of the work week was really good. I defeated my Strength of Materials test with a perfect score. Take that, stress and strain! Along those same lines, Doug is defeating the FAnderson. He, though, made but a lowly 99. Perhaps someday that elusive last point will find its itinerant way home. We both agree that you can't be legit unless you do your math in pen. It is a good semester to be in real classes. Friday I had a good work day as I was actually productive, and probably ended up saving the company about a quarter of a million dollars. Not too shabby for a junior engineer at a company that just got bought out.

The weekend itself was not quite as good. I had a great time with Doug hitting up various and sundry of the local bars and playing just a spot of billiards. I will have to go back and swally-womp him sometime when I have a bit more control over the tip of my cue. The big problem with the evening came as we sat down to a delicious nightcap of omlettes and grilled cheese. Apparently somewhere in the hopping from point to point, I lost my check card. I can respect the good run it had, but I am kind of reliant on Visa being everywhere I want to be to make it to where I don't have to worry about cash. As it stands, I'm having to try and keep track of not only how much money is in the bank account, but how much is in the imaginary "on hand" account. Stupid double entry ledger of life.

OU Debate is in Northern Iowa this weekend. Congrats to the Nevada kids for keeping us from having a break-less weekend. Hopefully the Dirty Souf will be a bit easier on the records, for Nick's and my collective sake.

I spent a good amount of the rest of the weekend with Patrick. It's good to remember what all we have in common, especially as he helps me steel my resolve against simple observation.

Curse that brilliant Dr. Rex Page for making me understand this nonsense.

...gonna lose, give up the fight. Won't get what I want, won't get anything...
