I recieved an email from Eriko today asking when the best time to have children was. I have suspected that the impulse for marriage would grow stronger the more she desired children and that a child would closely follow marriage (in fact, when she would mention having a baby, I would remind her that we have to get married first). Specifically, she wants to know how having a child will align with me achieving a PhD.
i started to write this early but was interupted by my co-worker. now i’m here in the UW hardware lab with music tones playing in the background. i did not make time to read the suggested material for tonight’s class. it was a very involved paper with quite a bit of mathematics. my mind is still lazy and i wish for it to engage itself but i must be patient. there are so many things i wish to learn and understand that it can be a bit overwhelming to think about.
boy, this stuff is confusing. mortgages, rates, ARM, brokers, etc, etc. i’ve had a good time visiting with mom and dad. last night we talked about religion and spirituality and that is always kind of an awkward subject. i’m beginning to accept that they just may never understand how similiar, if not identical, our views of the world are. especially dad; he always gets frustrated that he can’t help me more but i don’t think he realizes that he has already helped me.
After about 10 hours at work, I went to a PSNUG meeting. I ran into Jay, a guy that I happened to meet at a Linux meet-up a month ago. After the meetup, I had some fried food with Art and Brandon and gabbed like girls. After my bath, I’m going to bed.
