So it's really been a week? Have they already posted Sept unit values on TRS? How quarters fly.

The problem with kendo is that sometimes you take a week-gap and it's good because you're relaxed and you've forgotten bad habits, but do it twice in a row and you spend your day back just trying to stay vertical without panting to death and the back-of-head pressure exploding. But then after a while it's fine.

The project proceeds apace. I'm annoyed by one of my morning classes. But I don't think there's any way to help that, really. They're just immature and need a cross-board smack-down. Something like that. And now I'm officially off-pace, which means that it'll be rough to think about what happens next week, year, and so on. The last thing I need is a project quagmire.

It's worth mentioning that my longtime professor has outed herself to her elite group of perpetual students, though of course no woman needs that many pockets on her pants. But this is somehow deeply encouraging and discouraging at once--think of all of the omissions, which include even a daughter.
