Busy Busy

Last week was fairly busy, this week looks like still more of the same. Current objective is to survive till Wedensday:

Today-- Group meeting from 6:30 pm till about 9:00 pm, need to prepare data for presentation

Tuesday -- Complete "Control Systems" homework (Due the next day)

Wedensday -- Vounteer most of day at Engineering Sports day

Thursday -- Hand in a short article for publication on Nanotechnology (In Japanese) for publication in a Magazine.

In other random news here are a few interesting things that happened to me last week:

Last Thursday -- Dinner out with a "Slow food" group (group that specializes in food and drink. I ate a cow's heart and had 4~5 different wines that evening)

Friday -- Long Boat competition practice. My entire team sleeps in, we arrive at the practice place and can't practice because of lack of time (grr!)

Saturday -- Long boat competition. One of my team members gets sick, we replace him with big strong American guy named Mike. We do a practice right before the race and rip excellent speed. The race begins and 1/4 of the way through (after we were kicking ass) my rowing seat comes apart! My attempts to repair the seat were futile. Grrr!

In the Evening, we head out to a place for drinks for Mona's farewell party. Mona was in early on Saturday from Kyoto (came by bus) and at the lab. One of the professors came in and the first thing he says is "oh, are you doing more experiments?" Riiight, the correct comment should have been "it was nice having you at the lab" or something.

Sunday -- Slept and woke up at 9, tutored at 10. Went out for a BBQ party at 11 until 2. Thuoughly exhausted.

It's been quite a full week... this week is going to be quite busy too.
