• frayed nerves time of semester

  I’m not sure what it is, but everyone at school (including me) just looks and feels incredibly tired. There’s so much more we have to get done by the end of the semester, and not really enough time to do it. And all our brains desperately need a break.

  Last Friday was ASA fall meeting – due to the above brain-deadness I usually manage to miss fall meeting, but I’m glad I finally made it to one. Part of the adventure was taking the school shuttle between campuses (I bet it wouldn’t take 45 minutes if we took the highway.) even though it turned out that it is possible to park at the other campus for free (since it’s not downtown like mine) We have a great statistics group – it’s fun seeing talks that get well into the problem, and then say “And this just didn’t freaking work. Ideas?”

  Had to send KK a “that super simple thing you told me to do? Yeah, can’t figure it out.” Haven’t heard back. Also got 4 more books that might help from the library, so I have something (hopefully) productive to do besides staring at my non-working code and freaking out.

  Making slow, steady progress on my econ paper. Maybe I won’t have so much trouble making it long as Dan expects.

  Recipe of the week: Super Rich Blueberry muffins. It halves and quarters fine (depends on how much sour cream I have on hand.) and frozen blueberries work just fine.
