March 17 ?!

At least it hasn't been a month. I promise I haven't forgotten about you. I just seem to finally have been caught by my courseload. And, what's more, Google Summer of Code, and the attendant excitement, trepidation, and self-doubt that came with the application process. But today, having finally submitted my patch, I have to step back and just let the rest take care of itself.

There are updates I've left out from spring break and the preceding week, which I carefully recorded in my journal, but being in a different room, I'm going to have to do without that for tonight. I was in a wedding party for the first time over the weekend, as a groomsman. I enjoyed it a lot and will certainly include pictures if I get access to them.

In the past few weeks I have become quite intrigued with two books, Godel, Escher, Bach and Godel's Proof, the former inspiring my interest in the latter. Both make me feel like a nerdy math guy, which I enjoy, and both make me want to read more books like them. And my image of Douglas Hofstadter driving into the wilderness with only a tent and copies of mathematical works is so wonderfully genuine and fun that I can't help but listen to what he has to say.

And now, alas, I am once again up far past my bedtime. So I will leave you with a renewed promise of updates and pictures, with the firm deadline of Friday for the first signs of both. Goodnight.
