After my dismal 89% on my last homework, I really gave this one a lot of effort. I think I have a good chance at a 100%. I had one problem that was giving me trouble and I had a breakthrough tonight. Luckily I had a strigent review process as I found a mistake with a different problem. Anyway. My buddy & co-worker Lisa invited me to dinner and a play tomorrow, that should be fun. Friday I am slated to play some Starcraft with Alex; Saturday in its entirety will be occupied by Jerry Kerrick’s (my former professor/advisor) retirement party. Luckily the homework is not “supposed” to be as difficult because I have a busy social calendar. Not to mention that my project at work is going to be very time consuming, as they are expecting quite a lot from me. I predict that May will FLY by. Which just brings me closer to the next time I can see Eriko. X)

I am enjoying my homework – yet I’m doing proofs and runtime analysis! Will wonders never cease? Work is keeping me busy and I’m only in the planning stages… If I thought this last month went by fast, the next will go by even faster. I didn’t do very well on my last homework assignment, so I need to turn it up a notch. No more shortcuts!

So I made a mistake and instead of transferring $10 into my checking account, I transferred $10 out of my checking account. This resulted in me being overdrawn by $2. Guess what followed? My lovely Bank of America, who values my business, proceeded to charge me a $40 overdraft fee. I’m not sure you can get any more ridiculus than that. I will talk to them tomorrow but this action only hastens my departure from their greedy institution.

Matt, a longtime friend of David’s, is in town for a view days. However, I don’t believe I will be able to join him for dinner tonight, as I have some tricky graph coloring to do. My tasks at work are becoming more demanding, so I have less idle brain cycles to contemplate homework related gobbly-gook. But all around, it’s fun stuff. I slept much better last night than the previous week or two, I’m hoping coalition forces have completely routed the evildoers (my cold).

My sister Melissa is pregnant! In 9 months, my parents first grandchild will be born and I will be an uncle. Neato! On other news, the doctor told me I was a pansy and I should get better soon. This cold has been particularly nasty.

As I could have predicted, Eriko is not quite ready. ;P Nontheless, as I told her, my arms are open. She may join me whenever she is most comfortable. Heck, if I could complete my degree or find a good job in Nihon, I would move in a heartbeat.
