1. 4/17/16
1. Well, today went about exactly as planned in yesterday’s entry :D
2. I got my 10 hours of sleep, went to brunch with Brandon and Xin! Zach joined us on the way, and Max + Brandon’s EE friend Joseph joined us at Maple.
3. Brandon and I are pretty advanced omelet chefs now, and made some really terrific stuff. We also got potatoes, boiled them in cubes in our skillets, and fried them in butter with garlic and green onions :D Not to mention the french toast (with nutmeg and cinnamon stolen from the 8) was awesome--so much easier and honestly better than pancakes.
4. Thence to the McMahon gym for a short workout, followed by some much-needed emailing and some good work on the systems exercise due tomorrow (interfacing directly with system calls on files! Eww, but I mean, also kinda cool :)
5. Off to the quad with Alex! Laid out in the sun for an hour talking. Much more relaxed than I was on Friday, due to sleep and introspection. Got a sweet selfie to post to the family. Then we walked to the Veggie Grill, arm-on-arm Pride and Prejudice style. The Grill offered a sweet student discount, making it probably the most affordable place in UVillage, and we got some awesome strawberry lemonade on the house :D Talked about family and random stuff.
6. Debated what to do next and decided to watch a movie. Walked to Alex’s Mercer apartment. I got to meet some of her roomies, but not for long. Watched the first half of this old Katherine Hepburn movie called Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Weird story and I’m never quite square with the 20’s dialogue style, but fun hanging out regardless.
7. Finished the systems exercise out of odegaard (string concatenation in C is stupid) and back to Haggett to work on Thermal for a bit. Wrote this entry while listening to this neat bluegrass band Brandon recommended me at lunch, Nickel Creek.
8. Time to sleep. Happy Monday, -Spencer
