I think. I am actually starting to lose track of the days and such. Which I suppose is a good sign, considering I’m busy. And busy I will be! My good buddy Tom is staying with me for a few days, but I won’t be enjoying his company tonight because I am attending game night with my QA teammates.

I don’t think those numbers are good enough to get into UW’s masters program so I’d better get to studying. Oddly enough, I actually enjoyed myself. The 50 mile drive to the testing station was pretty annoying though.
