I thought I was eligible to apply for an NSF grant, but it looks like I should have done it two years ago. :( Readers beginning grad school or who have just begun grad school take note.
I am starting Arabic class (with a lovely set of spiffy dictionaries and right-to-left books) at the end of the month. The same week, I am taking a beginner's tennis class at the community college.
Running every day, no excuses -- this has been very very good for my mental health. When I said "many times a week" I was making all sorts of excuses for not doing it. But now I do it for at least 15 minutes every single day -- the last week, it's been before coffee or anything -- and it's meant huge improvements in my attitude and general feeling of connectedness to myself.
I've been putting off a particular project at work for about a week. Somehow, when I came back to it today, I discovered that it had already been done (?) in February (according to CVS logs) by me and a co-worker (?). I feel like I am in Memento, because I have no memory of making all this software. Unfortunately, I cannot test it because I do not have the correct file permissions, and my co-worker is about to go on vacation.
Tonight I am going out to dinner and to see a movie with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
