Two weeks into the quarter and I already feel intimidated... Oh well, at least I have Saturday to repose. (Sunday is a full study day)

So far, life has been looking great though! I'm learning a tremendous amount in every class (really interesting stuff) like how to test infinite series for convergence, types of logical proofs, why a gaseous state of egg doesn't exist, methods of searching tree data structures, and 3D models of parts in AutoCAD for example. Rigid homework has been flowing forth from practically every class, but I've been studying with Johnny (freshman bioengineering) quite a bit recently and it's nice to be around someone who views homework as a challenge and opportunity rather than a dreaded chore.

Aside from school, though, life is also looking great. I'm getting plenty of exercise between running, tennis, rockclimbing, and my new area of exploration: swimming. Walking to the pool at 6:20 am is less than "fun", but after a good swim I really feel awake for the day - and it should help for some of the triathlons I'm hoping to participate in this quarter. If only my Speedo wasn't so hard to get on. I thought about asking for help, but that sounds a bit... dodgy. My Speedo swim cap, people... sigh... ;)

I went to a really premium concert twice last week called "Prism." Basically the music department here at WWC collected a lot of musician students and made a great program consisting of 5 minute pieces of music (solos, choir, orchestra, or small groups). The best part was that it didn't all take place up on the stage. Some performers were scattered around the venue and as they began, a spotlight focused attention on them. It made for a really unique and enjoyable evening and I have a new love of the xylophone (the piece performed reminded me of the music from Riven). It's just too bad I couldn't take Michelle along - it would have made a great date ;)
