Work - Day 2

Here I am, updating regularly.  Wtf?

Today, I got some serious work done on my thesis.  I turned in my first chapter and made some headway on the appendices.  I had to go to security this morning to get badge clearance, but by the end of the day, my time badge worked and everything!  I still can't get onto the internet at all and I have no training account, but overall, it's not too bad for the second day back.

Being poor is rough, but I managed to find some chicken and rice soup in my trunk.  I ate half of that and a bag of popcorn, put the leftovers in the fridge for lunch tomorrow, and started watching Deep Space Nine.  Then Chelcee asked if I was up for ice cream, so we went to the store and bought a carton of Rocky Road.  It was delicious. :)  Too poor for real food, but I can afford some ice cream, damn it.

Going to a concert in Kalamazoo on Saturday.  I guess there is this whole movement of local shows in people's basements.  Neal asked me if I was interested yesterday and it sounded like a plan to me. :)

Spent a lot of time talking to Ben today.  I'm going to snag dinner with him on Friday between when he gets out of work and when he has to be at the Masonic Temple for his play.  Heading home this weekend to clean up my room before the show in Kzoo.

Also, starting to plan a potential trip to visit colleges in which I am interested for grad school.  I picked my top ten Ph.D. programs and decided I could hit at least 7 of them in a week if I took off the week of 4th of July.  Everything is still up in the air, but I think it would be a blast.

Life is good. :)
