1. Highlight(s): 
1. Pwn math midterm. At least, feel much more confident than I did after the last one. One of the sample problems (all of which I did), ended up on the test, which gave me time to think. Very computational midterm, more similar to a normal, handwavey, practical calculus course.
2. Give crazy weird "artifact" presentation with my boffers as props. Not sufficiently prepared for numerous good reasons, but it's fun anyway.
3. Go out to dinner with Brandon. Long conversation about martial arts and the "choreography" failure mode that Brandon experienced while he was in karate; we plan to sign up for one of the intro martial arts classes at the IMA next quarter. 
4. Get to play basketball for an hour! Play pretty well--make an absurd number of shots from inside the 3-point line. However, one of my awesome $20 Champion tennies blows out in the middle of the first game. The fabric completely separates from the sole over a large stretch of the inside side. This makes play difficult, but still fun. 
5. Get Rick's and walk over to deserted Sieg classroom with Xin. Eat ice cream, read math, catch up on CS lectures, and listen to various versions of Santa Fe from the Newsies prologue, which, after talking to Zach, I intend to audition with. Found sheet music for $5 (whatever :) and plan to hole up in a Music practice room for some hours tomorrow with it. 
6. All in all, a fine day! Good cheer to all!
