I was really busy last week...all schoolwork. It's terrible when you open the book and realize you know nothing about the subject. There's layers, the first where you think you understand it all, then the next where the issues blur and you get confused, then the last level where you become enlightened. Well, I'm not at enlightenment, but at least I made it to the point of utter confusion. At the end everyone knows the same material, it's just who's more capable of analyzing and rationalizing the issues and solutions. Anyhow, my point is I was so busy I didn't get to do much besides study. I don't think I even went out during the week.

I did go to a school party. I was motivated by a chance to win $1000. They drew 100 names, and also gave out money for costumes. It's the advantage of a private school, you give them so much money they can't help but throw elaborate parties. We had tons of free food, pretzels, churros, funnel cake, kettle corn, ice cream. They also brought in a sound stage with huge projection screens, and set up decorations. You can see the stage in the picture. Downside was no alcohol, everyone was locked into a really small space with no in or out privileges. Oh, and the fact that I knew almost no one there. I really do need more/new friends.
