My brain is officially a french fry. Or maybe fried chicken. Something fried. That's how I feel right now.

My finite elements homework beat the crap out of me last night. I missed rock climbing while plugging away. Disappointment! And then today we got a PROJECT that I didn't even know was coming. Oh, yeah, and the TA who is charge of answering questions said he is not going to answer any after the start of Thanksgiving break, even though its not due until Dec. 2.

Ok, that's my rant. I just feel up to my ears in engineering right now. The "word of the day" on yahoo was esoteric: Intended for or understood by only a particular group: an esoteric cult. Of or relating to that which is known by a restricted number of people. These adjectives mean beyond human power to explain or understand.

Right now, I am feeling my world is wrapped up in a very esoteric field. It gets more obscure, arcane, detailed, annoying... as each day goes by both in my work work and my classwork. And the more I learn, the less I feel like I understand or even care.

I didn't sleep very well last night. I kept thinking about Switzerland. Actually, I kept hearing the train announcements in my head "Winterhur, Gleiz Seiben ding hoot.." (Am I going crazy?) I think Cari and her friends' blogs are bringing up memories. I moved to and from many places for life, school, interships, work -- but I am still emotionally wrapped up in Switzerland. I feel like a scorned lover. It put me on a emotional roller coaster, and then *poof* it is no longer part of my life, nor will it ever be again. Two years. You'd think I'd get over it.

Ok, speaking of "work work", hi ho, hi ho, its off to work we go...
