This makes me happy I don't eat meat.


Roomies

I'm going to say again that I love having roommates. Kennda came home (much to my surprise) late Sunday night. So anyway, Nick, Kennda and I had a very social pow-wow over dinner last night. It was very entertaining. Way better than sitting home in silence every night.

Class worries

Still no word from the frustrating professor. The homework is due midnight tonight. I guess I'm going to do it the hard way. In good news, I got my test back in finite elements and I got an "A", though just barely. I actually would've done even better if I hadn't made a stupid algebra error on the last problem. Sigh.

Ah, switzeeeeeeeeeeland

Two people I know went to Interlaken in the last two weeks. Interlaken is one of the most breathtaking places in all of Switzerland. Read about my last visit here. Two weekends ago my co-worker Rich and his friend Phil went there as part of their European holiday. I believe Phil's precise words were "I can't believe you left Switzerland for Houston!" Then Cari, who went to Interlaken last weekend, e-mails me today with: "By the way, why you left is beyond me. That's the most beautiful place that I've ever seen and now I'm dying to go skiing. I really think that when we open up our shops, you, me, and Sarah will have to do it in Swizterland." And Cari's friend Nick writes in his journal: "I am proud to say that I have been to the most beautiful place on planet Earth."

Ok. So, they have succeeded in making me feel like the stupidest person on Earth for ever leaving Switzerland. I'm am just going to try to remind myself how many times I was forced to curse under my breath "freakin' damned Switzerland, what the *!$@ is wrong with this country?" Of course, it is exceptionally beautiful. The whole darned country just made you feel like yodeling.
