Today is the first day of the year that I feel comfortable enough to write outdoors, and not on top of the hot air exhaust near Heinz Chapel. Spring is fast approaching, clearer by the day, as I noticed today through a crisp blue sky still at 5PM through Bhiksha's window.
Today is also the first day I've felt at ease enough to write at a calm pace like now, in at least a week now. A DAP report, due last week, was attached in the email to my committe I sent out oday. Now, report sent, and my DAP presentation due two weeks away, I feel at ease enough for this journal entry.
My hands are somewhat cold, though, and my pens seem to work sub-optimally. Still, here I sit, happy to engage in leisure once more.
Today was also my favorite aunt's birthday. Favorite by her doing, I believe, as the love and caring she afforded me in my childhood was always strong and abundant, almost to a point of obsession, I thought. But it was true, and I thank her for it.
Still, I decided not to call her today, after a quick internal moral debate. Though I'd like her to feel remembered, I more strongly want isolation from the known. Or rather, from that which knows me?
I'd rather prefer the former. But the point is, she knows me quite a lot. And I'm moving away.
Today: Late wake-up at 11:52AM, ALADDIN meeting, 12:30 to 1:30, unattended classroom for Algorithms, trip to DMV in Downtown, DL renewal, on-and-off talk w/Bhiksha and Rita, addition of references and polishing-up of DAP report, and report send-in. Relief after sending it, followed by a half-willed attempt to finish HW#4. Which I just decided to whip out now.
