Midterms are done!

My midterm went pretty well, I feel good about it. It turned out to take all 3 hours and I took 20 pages to answer all of the questions. It was a lot of writing needless to say.

Friday night after the exam we all went to Rocky Mountain Pizza for beer and... pizza of course. A lot of the phd students were there already, celebrating qualifying exams being over. This was 7pm and they had been there since 11am. Thats commitment.

We got half-drunk there and then went over to Spencers house to seal the deal. It was a good showing of people, including several Swedish people, one of which kept pushing chewing tobacco on everyone for some reason. Weird. We went across the street later on to Loca Luna's, probably my favorite bar/restaurant in Atlanta so far. I tried this drink called Caipirinha (pronounced 'KIE-PUR-REEN-YAH') on the recommendation of this guy at the bar. It turned out to be a Brazilian cocktail made with Cachaça (brazilian rum), sugar, and crushed limes, served over ice. Had a great time there.

Saturday was spent getting my life back together after the barrage of tests, projects, and travel. Restocked my fridge (no more eating out for every meal), cleaned my apartment, and went to the gym. Spent the night relaxing, watching the world series, and more relaxing. Felt damn good. Its Sunday now, and the Skins have a bye week, so its time to get a head start on some work due in the coming weeks.


PS: For the person wondering what camera I use, I left a comment on the byrd stadium picture with more details on that.
