Some one actually reads this???

So recently, I got an IM from a friend of mine who lives in DC about one of my recent posts, and I realized... wow... people actually read this. This either says something about my writing ability, or the amount of free time my friend has. So to the cute red-head KU alumna who lives in DC, who actually reads this blog, thank you chica. Hope things are going well for you. If anyone else reads, please let me know and I'll say hello to you from the blog :)

It was a fairly uneventful week otherwise. I did homework. I didn't bike again until Friday, and I paid for it this Saturday. I miscalculated the kilometers again and went 83 km when I was supposed to go 88, so I was not happy about that. But it was still another long ride completed, so I'm proud of that. Plus my average speed has gone up. So if I keep training, I might actually be able to pull this thing off.

Still having to review the math to keep up with the pace of the classes, and hopefully I will be able to keep my nose to the grindstone. I am still very happy with where I am though. The more I delve into the material through classes and seminars, the more interested and inspired I become. I now think I have a good topic for my 3 research papers, as well as a couple sub topics to specialize in for two of those papers. On top of that the topic has to do with recent South American economic policies, so that will be fun to look into and research. But I must wait another year, and pass the qualifiers before I can do anything about that. So I need to be sure to get a good grounding in Macro, Micro, and Econometrics.

I am feeling a little more lonely recently than I have been. I suppose that is part of getting used to living alone, but it still kind of sucks. There are times when I really enjoy being alone, and times when I hate it. The bad thing is that I don't feel like I have many people that I can call if I really feel like being social.

I got a few calls from people back in KS recently, and I greatly appreciate it. Hope everyone is doing well. That's all for now.
