It's a Friday Night and I'm Blogging

Big yawns from a long week and the busiest day of them all!!!! The list of things to be done this week was rather long: study for midterm, throw together a framework presentation, come up with good questions for Google guest lecturers, finalize and submit paper, find time to pair program a bit, find time to do animation homework, find time to work on the framework paper, take midterm, do lab that involved teams of four and crazy bridge pattern, switch to new workstation at work, meet with the maternal one to obtain mail-in ballot, make time for sponsor meeting and team meetings while concurrently working on papers, attend the WICS event at the tea house, finish up framework paper and check out the hard work done on the other paper's revision, and all the while finding enough time to give Faye the runt fancy mouse her medicine twice a day. I was so busy I had to skip this week's bellydancing class, which would have been great to attend but realistically wasn't feasible given all these last minute deadlines.

But now all that's left is the medicine for Faye tonight and then I can finally sleep. However, the WICS event was worth the 3 hours I spent with the group - 3 of the 7 of us were actually, in fact, male, so it isn't like we were biased towards the women of computer science... But the tea house is always a delight to go to, as their tea is always delicious and varied and their house chai is the best in Boulder, and the conversations were plentiful and enriching; we discussed classes, professors, TAs, majors, tracks, the art program versus an illustrator's need for techniques, mentioned the Denver Art Museum, cognitive science, programming languages and what we learned about them based upon who taught PoPL, and the purpose of Fortran. It finally became 5 minutes to 9pm and I had a paper to finish, so we all parted ways and four of us walked back to campus to respective cars/transportation so that we might return to our respective homes and finish whatever we needed to finish.

I wonder what the next WICS event will be like....
