Week 1: Colgate Book Exchange runs into more trouble...

C-c-c-cold Taylor Lake
More Taylor Lake freezingness.

I've only been back at Colgate for a week and I'm already buried in work... it's pretty amazing. To summarize: my classes this semester look hard, it's cold, wet and slippery out here, I managed to sell a bunch of books through the Colgate Book Exchange and in between getting buried with work I had a decent amount of fun.

My trip here went pretty much as scheduled. The only close call was at Newark, where I had exactly one hour to get through customs and into my plane to Syracuse. I actually managed this with about 10 minutes to spare, but well... let's just say that there was a lot of running involved. The fact that my luggage arrived with me in Syracuse is a miracle.

After my arrival in Syracuse I was met by Linda, Gordon and Kaleena. (Thanks for picking me up Linda! 8)). We had a late dinner at Wegmans. After Kaleena was done with a 'Minor' shopping spree, we went straight to Colgate. I believe I fell asleep shortly after that.

My first week at Colgate was fun. I saw Elektra (movie), which was decent. Kaleena and I celebrated a (monthly) anniversary as well as a (yearly) birthday this week, which warranted going to the Colgate Inn and the Hamilton Inn, respectively. Both nights were a lot of fun and... well... filling.

Well it's that time of the year again; back to work. I am currently discovering that staying home longer also makes leaving more difficult. Such a terrible trade-off :(

Anyway, it's time for me to catch some sleep before my trip. Take care y'all and don't go anywhere until I get back m'kay. To those of you who are reading this at Colgate: now is the time to start running 8) W00t. Cheers.

Resin Day

So much for Wednesday. I did some coding, visited the dentist (who was kind enough to equip me with some resin) and did some more coding. I also played some games from this place, which is... well... very addicting. My current personal favorite is Slime volleyball. In my sophomore year, my roommate and I played this. Terribly exciting stuff, is it not?

In related news, www.joelonsoftware.com/ has an article titled "Advice for Computer Science College Students". It's pretty interesting, and yah I might apply for an internship at FogCreek. I might also finish my current projects... who knows.

If the first two days are any indication, my 2005 will be a very slow year. Not feeling so hot at the moment, so I'm just going to turn in and hope that the first working day of 2005 will bring something interesting. Preferably something along the lines of "wow I can't believe I got that much work done." Let's hope so. Anyone else feeling the same way?
