blog neglect
I've neglected my blog for so long...so much has been going on lately.
well, here are some updates.
-Trip to Columbus, OH was fun. hung out at coffee shops during the day, while Dave was at work. (we met for lunch, though) Jim was nice enough to drive up to Columbus to hang out with me and Dave. We went to a coffee shop/bar on High Street--pretty cool. had nice coffee drinks (w/ alcohol). it was great to see Jim. it was super cold over the weekend, so we pretty much stayed in. Dave gave me a grand tour of his office--it was very impressive.
-snowed a lot in NY area while I was in Columbus, OH. My flight back to NYC was canceled, and I was rebooked on the next day. So, I got an extra day in Columbus.
-got back to NYC safely. was bit surprised with the amount of snow we got in NY. after dropping off my luggages at home, i went straight to school. first day of class. pretty uneventful.
-RE: my academic status. turns out, I have to take Research Methods on top of three other required courses. My Research Methods prof told us that this class is one of the most intense courses we will ever take in this program--great. 3 classes is considered full-load in our program, and it requires special permission to take more than 3 (min GPA 3.9 and chair's approval--which is rarely granted. i know someone who had 3.9 and didn't get a permission to take 4 classes) well, i got permission to take 4 just because i have to take 4 this semester. So, i have to get all A's with super heavy load of classes. Scholarship office agreed to fund me for the fourth class. Now I definitely have to take 4 classes!!! ugh...my life doesn't get any better than this.
-visitor from NJ on Sunday. met him up at Penn Station and had a quick lunch in K-town. then, we came back to my place b/c it was too cold out. we studied at my place for a bit--i was quite happy how productive i was. nice to have a study buddy, i guess. went back out to K-town for dinner.
-I've been sick ever since I came back from Ohio...as I was getting better last weekend, I got another cold/flu. It was a very nasty stomach flu!!! couldn't eat for a few days and had fever. haven't gotten this sick for a long time and i freaked out a bit. but i'm feeling much, much better now. trying to think of a good "anti-cold/flu plan" for the rest of the season. take echanichea???
