- school is all research, all group work. yawn.
- Group work: interesting learning. half of the grad students are chinese/taiwanese, so there is a cultural and language barrier that i'm finding difficult. I'm getting good at asking people to do stuff, and I hate doing that.
- Going to the Gulf coast a few weekends ago, seeing the emptiness and destruction of Katrina-its pretty humbling. The drive from Pass Christian to New Orleans, via route 90 was odd: houses in the bayou, build on a sliver of land at sea level, all homes on skinny stilts, all homes brand new; fishing boats scattered here and there, garbage and debris everywhere.
Lower 9th ward, 1.18.09. nice tile job.
Katrina was in 2005, and last year was Gustav and Ike. The whole time we wonder-how can people live here, and continue to rebuild?
- A dude had a heart attack or something this week on the Tuesday night ride. He died. I wasn't there, but I'm sure that was weird.
- This season I'm on the Cutters team for the Nestor Cup
- This season I'm racing for visitPa.com for the TRANS ROCKIES, with xRay. Can't wait.
- Savannah has a 50' climb (liberal estimate).
- Milla is gonna fight again in March. She says I have to watch.
- Having heard enough stories, I've come to realize Savannah-the lovely coastal Antebellum town isn't very safe. Never thought about owning a handgun until recently. Don't think I'll really get one, but its crossed my mind. That's weird.
- I just got my first summary of student loan debt.
gulp.
- I worry that I'm not getting the best education for my buck (or 30,000 bucks as it is).
- Wouter got two flat this week, both in the rear wheel. what a pain to change, like 1 hour each time.
- Wouter has a girlfriend now. She's purple and brand new and is parked at my school building.
- I found a philipe starck theme for my igoogle page. It looks like this sometimes:
- I finished off this evening with a big bottle of St. Bernardus ABT 12, which I know some of you will appreciate.
cheers.
