Thanksgiving Break '05
The short version: just spent an awesome 'mid-week' in DC:
- Before Wednesday: stayed at the St. Gregory hotel, brushed up on my English vocabulary
- On Wednesday: took the GREs
- After Wednesday: relaxed, celebrated
Special thanks to Kaleena who planned all of this 
Thursday was Thanksgiving, so Kaleena and I ventured to make [drumroll] endive stew. It actually worked out very nicely. In related news, we also had Dutch French Fries on Tuesday (if that makes any sense), at the Amsterdam Falafel Shop. It was a good week for food.
Future Prospects Good M'kay...
Today I got an e-mail from Professor Weckesser:

It's a dark and stormy night. The worst of the storm may have passed, but the distant rumbling of thunder lingers. The temperature has dropped, and you realize the next big storm will probably bring sleet and snow. You gaze out at the remnants of the storm. Street lights reflect off the wet roads. Lightning still flashes sporadically, illuminating the glistening gold and brown leaves that have washed down the street. You pull your sweater around you a little closer and think, "It's the perfect night to do some calculus!"
I'm happy to oblige. Homework 10 is now on the web page [...]
I have yet to write my German paper for tomorrow, so unfortunately math will have to wait. I'll be pretty busy for the rest of the month, actually. Between GREs, picking schools, and keeping up with everything else, I think I'll need plenty of stormy nights.
