slowly but surely.

since monday, nov. 27:
hours slept - 24.5
hours worked - 25
hours studied - 21
pages written - 0
tests completed - 3
food eaten (last 24 hours)- two bowls of cereal and a plateful of vietnamese food at the amnesty dinner - i have a plastic container full of rice and sweet and sour pork. mmm... leftovers.
last visit home - friday, dec. 1, 6pm.

i woke up at 2:30 this afternoon after 10 glorious ours of deep, deep sleep. i needed it. i played football with fellow dners and strangers from 3:30 to 5:30 and ended up being late to the amnesty dinner (which was awesome!). the food was great, the movie was excellent, the speakers were beyond impressive and the company was wonderful. i miss my amnesty friends. it was really nice to see them all again.

i'm at the dn and have spent the last 2 hours looking of USAID policy and strategy. this political science 400 paper is going to be good - just watch.

tomorrow it's more democracy promotion and human rights stuff - maybe even some u.s. torture vs. french torture stuff, who knows. then the big 12 championship! call it wishful thinking, but i think the crowd has something to do with this one. the sea of red turns arrowhead into lincoln's memorial stadium and gives the huskers the edge. my prediction: nebraska 24, oklahoma 20.

go big red! and go academia.
