back in the 'burgh

OK, I'm finally getting used to the idea of being back at school. I was resisting it for a while but I've come around. I think I had a little too much fun this summer having a regular work-day, getting home, fixing dinner and zoning out in front of a TV in a comfy couch with a zillion channels. It's going to be excellent being a working stiff again next year.

Current priority projects:
1. the extremely important and monumental work of copying the files out of my itunes folder onto CD.
2. finish listening to the rest of the Ring cycle (Die Walkuerie is next).
3. buy a tasty fish at Wholey's and do s'thing cool with it.
4. try to get to sleep before 2:00am some day.
5. watch that kung-fu DVD that's been on my shelf for half a year already.
6. figure out which overseas place I'm travelling to in December.
7. send hatemail to Lonely Planet for that bum steer they gave me (the so-called "internet cafe" in Frankfurt)
8. find out if Sharp Edge has Eisbock
9. see Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit at the Carnegie Museum

Lesser projects:
1. do telematics research for telecom class
2. do research of current regulatory regime for payment systems
3. re-read SSA docs for architecture analysis class
4. install vmware
5. send resume to SEC
6. re-edit IPv6 paper
7. back up stuff on thunderbolt
8. look up deadline dates for various federal job apps
9. tell Sumitha about my research project

OK, to paraphrase Foghorn Leghorn, right now I'm feeling " bout as sharp as a bowlin' ball"....got to get some zzz's...
