Weekend Update

The first Friday night swing was fun as always. My knees still need to get used to it, but it's not bad. Lots of new people came, some who are quite good, which is great to see. Saturday a friend and I went walking with her poodle. He was running down University and she rescued him, so he's staying at her place until she can find his owner. We went down to the Bear Creek trail near my place, which turned out to be not much of a trail. There was a wooden bridge, but half the boards were missing, so the walk was a bit shorter than we'd have liked. It was a lovely day out, though - about 78 F and partly cloudy.

Before that I also hit church for a Lent planning meeting. The theme ended up being journeys, which I agree with. I also met some of the parishioners, which was reassuring - and reconnected with one of the faculty from the Honors College I'd met over the summer, as she also goes to St. Stephen's.

Sunday became my catch up day for school, as Mass for me is Saturday night. So far, I am understanding what I'm doing in the courses - statistics is cake, vibrations is more interesting than I'd anticipated, heat transfer is fun, and simulations is about midway between easy and challenging for me. The research reading has gone smoothly; I am waiting on my professors to tell me when we will meet, then we'll plan this semester for me.

After classes today, I feel that the semester is fully in swing - and not just in the dancing sense - although the dancing sense is my favorite part so far.
