I'm only this much burned out

Dear Diary,

I need a break, bad.
And simultaneously,
I do not take one.

Bike Repair

Dear Diary,

While walking around this evening to clear my head, I happened upon someone with bike trouble.  E, as we'll call her, needed to replace a leaky tube.  I wondered outloud if using a tire iron would be better than fingers, so we had some indirect conversation and I went home to get my tools.  By the time I got back, she'd already taken off the tire and had everything replaced.

Self-sufficiency!  Good luck, E!

Back to the Blog

Dear Diary,

Been a while, eh?  Well, after getting the Nth compliment for you and waiting for N^Nth day for Ehrenfestival to fully take control of this thing, I'm picking up my keyboard and throwing a blog down.  I'm back!

Lucky for you, you didn't miss out on anything over the past year.  No meaningful results were produced.  This is actually quite common in graduate school.  It's a wonder anyone finishes.  I'm actually delaying graduation so I can get all my neat little projects done.

I would say we're close, but I said that about 1.5 years ago!  Ok, so I'll check back on you in a few days.  Pardon any infrequent postings.  I just can't keep up with my former pace.  Maybe once a week?  Yeah, see you then.
