Valentine's day was really good. The boyfriend gave me the fluffiest most adorable stuffed bear ever (and proceeded to name him "Stuggles") and took me out to a really nice dinner at a small Italian restaurant near campus.
Life has been pretty busy. I didn't do much Monday or Tuesday since I was sick, and yesterday I started playing catch up. I should have done more...but it was Valentine's day! I have a meeting in an hour that I rescheduled from Monday - really wish I would have kept it Monday so I could sleep for a few hours before my 6:30 class. I have an A.I. assignment due Tuesday that I haven't started yet, and I promised myself I'd give myself more time on this one than I did on the last one. And I have a graph theory test Monday and Wednesday. Meh. Whine whine whine whine whine.
In any case. I'm really looking forward to Spring Break. It's only 3 weeks from tomorrow! For some reason spring semester always flies by. I'm going to push myself hard the next few weeks so hopefully I won't have that much work to do in Germany. I'm looking forward to really getting away for a bit - life at CMU always seems to get a bit intense, no matter how hard I try to not bite off too much.
I don't even keep myself nearly as busy as a lot of people I know...crazy.
I got a paper returned in International Organizations today. The professor gave me a really good grade, in spite of a glaring omission on my part, just because I write really well and make good arguments. I keep getting good grades on my Chinese Culture Through Film papers, too. Writing, especially when I'm prompted with something, tends to come pretty easily for me. It makes me wonder if I'd be better off majoring in something else, but at the same time I don't think I wrote nearly as well before getting to college. It's almost as though having all of the analytical classes and learning how to think constructively has somehow translated into writing skills. (Which is still strange, given that most engineers are really cruddy writers.)

Edit:
Okay, I'm glad the meeting was today. I really like this group - and our advisor ordered us pizza. Somehow she knew we'd all want some comfort food. :-P
Also, I just realized that I tend to talk more, especially about myself, when I'm really tired. Not sure why that happens.
