Sigh.

Cory's going from Seattle today to the Bay Area tomorrow. It's a little depressing living in a drive-by / flyover region.

At least Barack stopped by Eugene for a milkshake on Saturday on his way to Portland Sunday afternoon.

Here's a summary of the day:
8:00 - 8:30: study Chinese / drink coffee.
8:30 - 11:00: work.
11:00 - 12:00: Chinese conversation.
12:00 - 5:00: work.
5:00 - 6:00: Chinese study group.
6:00 - 6:30: transit via pharmacy.
6:30 - 7:15: eat dinner, talk to parents / wife.
7:15 - 9:00: stats homework.
9:00 - 9:20: walk to Red barn with wife. Buy / make popcorn.
9:20 - 11:00: stats homework, prep for class.
11:00 - 11:15: read boingboing, drink beer, write this post.

This is about typical, except when I'm really under the gun to complete an assignment. I remember being in classes with single moms back in Milwaukee: I can't imagine how they did it. Nuts. Absolutely nuts. Makes me want to go work in a school with a larger non-traditional population just so I can worship at the feet of real non-traditional students. I've got it sooooo easy in comparison.
