The Friendly Confines

This is a delayed reaction, I know, but HOLY CRAP THE CUBS WON THE NL CENTRAL HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!

I know it's a long (nearly infinite) shot that they'll actually make it to, much less win, the World Series, but a girl can dream. Seriously, though, they could do it. They've had enough decades of "next season" that I think it's finally time. That and Cleveland won their division in the AL, and the Cubs and the Indians apparently are the two teams that have gone the longest without (being in? winning?) the Series, so it would be nice and poetic to see those two go up against each other.

Classes are going pretty well. I have a midterm tomorrow that I'm kind of - not worried about, just dreading. It's going to be a ton of writing, and I've had to memorize a bunch for it, but I think it'll go well. Computer security has yet to feel like anything much more than a seminar (okay, a seminar with weekly quizzes that have a tendency to be kind of tricky at times), and research is still going along.

I'm going to Denver this weekend to visit the family and go to a football game. I'm actually a bit nervous about it since I have a midterm Monday, but it's better than running off for the weekend with a bunch of engineering homework to do. It'll be good to see the parents + extended family again, and I'm looking forward to the mini-vacation. Apparently I'm missing the first weekend of buggy rolls, though, which makes me kind of sad. Oh, well. There's always...the rest of the semester.

I was poking through some old files on my desktop last night, and came across the "compatibility test" I wrote last fall. I'm such a dork. I don't even remember the "right" answer to a couple of the questions.
