I don't have time to do this, but this is the last week of this Pitt season of my life, and I don't want to forget it like I've forgotten the last week, nay month, of my home school season.
So... TODAY:
"Class" with Dr. Enick at Starbucks at 9. His treat, and we just conversed.
Process, high on caffeine and understanding discrete step response modeling.
Heath & Safety / Ethics - last class. Watched the 60 Minutes bit on the BP Texas City refinery explosion, did the evaluation.
Drove home 'cause I didn't have my lab report sections on the USB stick or emailed. Mom was leaving to take Daisy for her checkup as I arrived. Veggie soup.
Back to Pitt, waited and waited for a spot on Atwood, ended up down by Bellfield, but set for the rest of the day. COLD walk. 20's.
7 hours of Process Control homework. 5 continuous hours spent in one chair, getting up exactly 4 times to get my printed stuff 10 feet away. Brain so active I didn't eat, drink, or even listen to music part of the time. Writing code. Busting head. Got it working.
Nice break down in B72 sharing Phae's pomegranite and putting up Christmas lights.
Final 3 hours of process control, doing the Simplex algorithm for linear optimization with multiple constraints. Got my answers to agree with Matlab, hallelujah!
Fuel and Fuddle. 2 Jameson's and a flying buffalo provided some nice relaxation and needed nutrition. Read "God Is The Gospel," talked to Willis and Janie while they waited for a table. Christmas lights were the best idea I've had in the last 4 years.
Jenna gave me a snowflake with designs like hearts and biker club symbols. I played with the order of songs for my album.
Cold walk to car.
Listened to my own stuff on the way home.
Came up with and recorded a 1 minute acoustic song. Indirect fruit of listening to Vince Guaraldi 5 times today.
Titled it "Fuddle."
Here it is. To be listened to whilst looking at black and white photographs.
Good night.
Pitt is good, but somehow I have no thought of missing it when I'm done. I have no feelings about my graduation at all, strangely enough. Right now I'm just starting to feel Christmassy, and that's sublime.

You like pomegranates? Sweet.
Yay for Christmas. Things probably feel differently than they would if you were graduating in the Spring, because 1/4 of campus is graduating then and there's a lot more hoopla etc.
Congratulations!
I'm withya on the "Pitt is good, but somehow I have no thought of missing it when I'm done. I have no feelings about my graduation at all, strangely enough. Right now I'm just starting to feel Christmassy, and that's sublime."
