I awoke today and found the living room gloriously sunny. I decided that today would be a perfect day to talk to my research mentor (perfect mostly because sun lifts your mood and eases negotiations, for me at least) and continue efforts to get the ball rolling on this project. The goal is to keep focused, no excuses.

In addition, I have been busy with learning c++, and somehow I find it very comforting. Frustrating and comforting. I appreciate the austerity of the language, as well as its robustness.

As if that wasn’t enough, I have been holding on to this collar for several years now. I am not that into real fur and didn’t know what to do with it (Ok, I am so not into fur, but that is neither here nor there, heh). However, I bought a full length coat with this collar thinking the darn thing was fake when it was real. Anyhow, I plan on making use of it somehow — I don’t want to waste it.
