ocelotIt's been a pretty nice weekend.
Yesterday, we went to a bike swap meet thing.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
koyote got a bike, oldish but good, for $100.
In the evening, we went to Dave & Buster's in Milipitas for a friend's birthday party. I've been to D&B (the one in Bethesda, MD) once before. It had been pretty uncrowded, without a whole lot going on. This one, however, was a complete madhouse. Way crowded, plus they had this big old noisy game room in the back. Overwhelming, really. I don't do well with crowds/lots of noise/flashing lights.
Despite everything, I think we all ended up having a good time. I did, anyways.
Today we got the bikes fixed up, and rode out to the nature preserve about 2 miles from my house to do some geocaching. (basically, GPS treasure hunting). Actually, we'd gone after work on Friday, but the area closes at sundown, and they kicked us out just after we got to the right spot. I'm glad we had to go back - it was much more scenic during the day. I like wetland type areas like that a lot.
Since we already knew the general area where we were supposed to be, and it wasn't one of the more difficult ones, we found the cache pretty fast.
Came home and fixed dinner - chicken stovetop stuffing stuff from a mix, except I added sausage and raisins, and salad. Cooking is not my forte (though it turned out decently enough).
Cleaned up the apartment a little, did laundry, and then realized that I have six or so chapters of math due tomorrow, on top of a take home test.
I'm not sure about this whole school thing. Can I take another 5 or so years of this? If I got into some decent study habits, it would probably be ok,
but that's never been my strong point.
Perhaps I should just give in and go back full time for a while. Or give up on the bachelor's degree idea, and just go for one of the certificate programs or an associates degree. I could probably do that in a year or so, since I'd be able to stop all this idiotic math and just do the basic requirements, maybe of which I've already done.
But going back full time for a year or two seems like the smarter of the two options.
I'd love to be able to go to sleep now, but I don't get to. Damn math.
