I like this whole "getting-stuff-done" trend I'm on right now. It feels good. I finished everything I wanted to get done today before 11:30 AM, so now I'm taking a break, drinking some African Red Bush tea (I hope none of the new grad students are redheads!). I'm taking the analytical instruments class, which meets this afternoon. I hope it will be informative. The only reason I'm taking it is to learn other instruments that I don't already know, in case I ever need (or want) to use them.

I'm also thinking about signing up for intramural racquetball. Matches are two nights a week from mid-September to early-October.
