Colgate 2007

Sunday May 20th, late in the morning

Driving I

Congrats to everyone who's graduating Colgate or UVa '07 today 8-)

Last week was officially *the* last week of classes. For me, it involved frantically coding up an Algorithms project, taking the Algorithms final, and finishing up the last couple of Operating Systems papers. I finally wrapped up on Friday, which means that I have had *nothing* to do except for my research for the past week. Woot.

Isabelle and I made a break for Colgate last Sunday. We took about 7.5 hours to get there, leaving around 11am and arriving just after 6:30pm.

Monday was a fairly hectic day. It involved a visit to Clarice at 10am, which was the only 'scheduled' event. The rest of the day consisted of a lot of driving around, lunch at the Denny's in Oneida, stopping for a chat with a bunch of people, and so on. We had a rather delicious dinner with Mrs. Tucker, Professor Mulry, and his wife. It was good to be back for a bit, if somewhat disorganized 8-) Thanks to everyone who helped.

Tuesday consisted of The Long Trip to VA. This time it took us 8.5 hours, on account of road work in PA and some queues in Virginia. I managed to nearly destroy the rental car on the way back to the airport (not entirely my own fault, surprisingly), but alas (the other guy dodged).

The other day Isabelle and I made rhubarb strawberry pie. Aside from the stock crust it was moderately amazing.

    I had a "food shower" today! I was feeding Nathan his vegetables and at the very moment he had his mouth full he had to sh..... Of course he couldn't swallow the food, so he kind of splashed it around. I had to clean my face and glasses and change clothes! I hope you behaved better while dining at mrs. Tucker's!! :-)

  12. De moeder:

    inspired by Isabelle — #11 Handschrift = handwriting! Now you probably understand how difficult it is for us poor Dutch parents to understand all those things you write down. Joris Goedbloed, aka AJ, is a pain in the .... inspired by Joris Goedbloed — #10 My handwriting is much and much better than his, which isn't very difficult, since he is born with a writing disability, hahahaha! He is left handed and uses nothing but keyboards!! And if he doesn't stop teasing his mom .... she will take proper measures and he will be sooooo sorry!! Is cuneiform not the right expression in English? I think it's rather interesting, since I took a course called "the epic of Gilgamesj" two years ago. After this course I will be able to read it in it's original form .. if I ever find the time and the courage that is :-) Are you ok, by the way?

    inspired by Arjo Hooimeijer — #22 No, actually I didn't know that. It feels like being married to two guys at the same time, hahaha! I wonder who's son you are ;-)

    Learned a new word again: gibberish! That's an insult of our beautiful language, isn't it?
