Going to be gone for about a week
Vising schools, a monastery. Will have limited connectivity. Therefore, big questions about social order will be deferred until my return. I will definitely be thinking about them, though.

Beer before chess leads to success.
Chess before beer, shoulda had a beer.
My coworker had a retirement shindig last night. Free beer! I also had a chess match last night. So I went for drinks and then nipped out to play a game.

and stuff goes on
I wound a few things down, so now I have a little less stress. I turned in all my outstanding homework in numerical analysis, I'd been sitting on one or two problems for weeks.

for our new tool for doing AAP. there will be a bit of hassle in getting things set up for the transition, i don't think we explicitly considered the time investment it would take the team to transition the data management blah blah blah. by "we" i mean management, by "the team" i mean "gzt".

the list of crap I need to get better at.
So I was thinking about what my current station in life seems to demand I get better at, in terms of programming (which I'm not all that good at or experienced with, anyway).

I just lost it all at the chess game yesterday.
The rest of the content is much like all the other content I have been producing lately.
Executive summary: tired, doing work for classes, played chess poorly, waiting for responses. Very quotidian.

Second admit
Heard back from Notre Dame's program, got in, have the first year off from teaching duties, decent support package. Though, frankly, the more I looked at the program during the applications, the more "only okay" it seemed. I'll see if it looks better on the visit, because it still looks like a good program. However, it's small and it's relatively new.
