A cold front is enroute to Texas. Or in Jen's words, a "not so warm" front. This is good, because the yard needs lots of work. I have grand plans for housework this weekend. I am finally going to get my mower repaired (I figure Katie & Fred are probably getting frustrated at mileage I'm putting on their's). I am going to finish the molding on my spiffy new floor. All of this is not much of a subsitute for going to Seattle if you ask me, but, what can I do?

Matlab is currently counting from 1 to 83,000 for me. Its taking an extrodinarily long time for such a simple process. Woe is me and my slow computer.

Tonight I have class from 7-10 p.m. In case your wondering about my new crazy fall semester schedule it is as follows: Monday, work 9 hours (I'm shooting for 8-5:30) & ?go rock climbing?; Tuesday, class from 9:30-10:30, work from 11:45-6:45 & volleyball; Wednesday, work 9+ hours (8:30-6:30ish), class from 7 pm-10 pm; Thursday, same as Tuesday & an evening World Space Week meeting; Friday normal 8 hour day. Saturday/Sunday, frantically mow grass, weed, clean, catch up on rest, do homework, do laundry, play with lonely dogs. Rinse, repeat.

And reason number 1,632 why I will probably never become an astronaut: Its impossible for me to think that being an astronaut is "just a job."
