Monthly Outlook: October 2008

Recap: U.S. Open was interesting and all right. Then I started school in Seattle. Did a few fun things. Leeched off my brother. Spent a lot of money on necessities. Picking a rotation was stressful, and not knowing how to do anything was a bit embarrassing but more annoying. Hopefully I will remedy my uselessness in this lab by the end of this rotation. I actually blogged a lot last month, so that means that I didn't do very much...

Outlook: October is when I start really having stuff to do for school. Stuff in lab will hopefully start rolling, while I'll start getting more HW and tests. One of my classes ends at the end of this month. Have my 21st birthday coming up! I hope to start learning French (bought some French self-teach books) and to start practicing more on the oboe in preparation for playing in a school band winter and/or spring quarter. My TV will finally be getting set up so I'll get to watch tennis! Very exciting! I might also try to meet some people outside of my department, but we'll see how that goes...

Events/Activities: UW volleyball games (most important one this Sunday!), UW soccer games, tennis and soccer matches on TV, checking out some of the parks/museums, Seattle Symphony Orchestra concerts, UW grad student, etc. social events for the free food (hahaha)

Goals: to restrain myself from buying too much food, to learn some French, to keep up with school work, to get presents for people's birthdays
