Ups and downs

[glasseye]

GOOD: Seeing Amanda, meeting Tamzyn, and getting some work done on my Thesis.
BAD: Missing the moped rally. Broken mopeds. Drinking too much.

GOOD: We have ROCK BAND.
BAD: Rock band is addictive.

GOOD: Various wedding things are coming along.
BAD: I haven't even started on our rings.

BAD: I'm not graduating this quarter. My advisor is not willing to support my defense yet.
GOOD: More time for the thesis = better thesis. Also less stress.
GOOD: Possibly better job situation? The fall job fair is really big.
BAD: Yet another delay in my graduation plans...

GOOD: I may get a TA offer for next quarter. The professor I'm TAing for this term has expressed the desire to have me help out with the embedded design capstone.
BAD: I may not get a TA offer for next quarter. No offer = "interesting" financial situation.

GOOD: I'm working on a rain/snow sensor which might develop into some additional funding.
BAD: Said sensor is on an extremely tight time frame. I have to do lots of annoying mechanical fabrication.

GOOD: I was virtuous and alerted someone who walked away from an ATM while still "logged in" yesterday.
BAD: I'm not sure I successfully communicated the problem.

GOOD: I have some nice new bike gear (helmet, gloves, tire pump.)
BAD: These were expensive, and I still don't have good riding glasses/goggles.

GOOD: Obama was right: riding to school today was much easier with properly inflated tires (60 psi vs 25 psi.)
BAD: Riding up the hill on the way home will still be really hard. Forgot my lock today, and had to park my bike in the lab.

Uh, so is that net good or bad?

I have your check for the project night supplies.

Also, new bike gear rocks. I just got a new seat and it's worth every penny.

I also have recently discovered the joys of biking on properly inflated tires! It's just so much better.:'} but sadly it doesn't make the ride any less hot...

Rock Band is awesome!
