Busy! I road David’s bike to work this evening – mainly because I wanted to get some excercise and we all know that what goes down must come up (or something like that. ;) I have a challenging weekend ahead of me – a homework assignment on NP approximation algorithms (which I am quite fuzzy) and a deadline on Monday (which I feel a little behind). Tempus neminem manet – time waits for no one.

One hundred is the percentage right I got on my last homework; eighty six is the cost of the ticket I received for “running” a red light. I will contest it; the only reason I received it was because the officer was directly astern – yes, I knew he was there. He’s colorblind, that’s what I say! ;P At work I am swamped and feeling a little overwhelmed but I hope to get everything in line soon.

NP reductions – fun! Eriko is performing in a play as the daughter of a dentist. I wonder how often it is that you play a character that mimics your own – or in this case, the description of the character. ;P Looking forward to a busy, productive week.

After careful deliberation, I will agree that common interests are a defining characteristic of good relationships. Even if opposites attract they still must share the common interest of remaining together, for better or worse. To my knowledge, this will supersede all other interests. Whether it too is fleeting is really a question that only time answers; at the start of the show many people take the vow, at the end most are not worthy of a bow.

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.

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!
