Parents' Weekend: Days 33-35

I apologize for what seems like a bit of a hiatus. I have not died or anything. It turns out I had two (this is the third) saved posts languishing in my account; I'd simply neglected to post them. Happens. I'm a tad absentminded like that. Go read those first, I'd suggest.

It was a lot of fun. You really don't realize how much you miss your parents until you've been away long enough. Also, my father's been on campus before, more than once, so there was no need for the obligatory tour (conducted by me or anybody else). I took him to the various eateries on campus that I like, including this wonderful frozen yogurt place in the student union (the cashier recognized me, I'm such a regular). We went to some of the talks given by various Important People (or rather, he went to all but one of them with out me -- I was in class on Friday). We went to dinner with family in the city, and just drove around in the city for a while. Small things like this are the moments you remember.

I slept eight hours, from 3:00 am to 11:00 am on Sunday morning. I actually woke up at 7:30ish, and went back to sleep when I saw what time it was. It's a little strange to be awake for an entire day without napping. The whole, unbroken day felt really long. I like breaking it up into intervals.

Now, for getting back on track. At least it won't be as bad as after that tournament!
