Stats Camp Chronicles
July 19:
Three more days to go. with each passing day, I feel more dorkier. not sure I really want to spend a month in an unknown place attempting to study stats.
July 20
We leave for camp tomorrow. Hate packing! Need to pack a life for a month. NOT fun! TT is also going to be there. Can't wait to see her! 8-X
July 21
First leg towards mission stats camp. Spent time with G's parents, one of the most gracious hosts I have ever met. Awesome dinner. Felt like I was home after all. Played an insanely funny game called Balderdash. Learned a few new obscure words. Hobbledehoy is our new battle cry!
July 22
Left around noon after a most wonderful breakfast - its been ages since I had breakfast and slep in late. Drove through a red state. Fun stuff! And then through a blue state - loved the pro-life hoardings and Jesus Saves billboards! Reached safe and sound. The house is really nice and so is the city. I think I will like it here.
July 23 - Day one
Woke up at an unearthly time. Maybe a month will change my sleep cycle for the good, though I doubt it. Walked to the university and got registered. Free coffee and breakfast. Went for a decent lunch and then walked over to class. Waited for an hour, felt like an undergrad, waiting for the professor. After an hour left. Drank some more. Told G somethings that should best lie dead. Came back, drank some more. met TT, she is crazy have concluded. SO is NOT coming. YAY! but after all the flack I took from G, I wish SO was coming.
July 24 - Day two
Had the first set of classes. Wasn't too bad - did some game theory. I think I like game theory better. At least I don't feel like an idiot most of the times. walked back, went to the grocery store and then cooked dinner. Not a very unusual day except had no internet access, so was twitching, but made it through the night. Wasn't so bad.

Last Sunday of my vacation
Saw Harry Potter
Shopped after a long time.
Bought shoes and two cute shirts :-)
Mood: Finally Happy

Mood: Finally Happy
am on a much needed week long "semi"-vacation. It is semi because I have been working on papers etc to meet arbitrarily forced deadlines by my boss. But a vacation means waking up late and not worrying about what bus to take to work. I woke up to a beautiful thunderstorm this morning, so stayed in bed longer, just looking at the rain through the window.
Mood right now - HAPPY, CONTENDED
Mood am sure I will be in a few hours: Annoyed, frustrated
