Don't call it a comeback.

I got an A- in thermo only a few days after telling my family that if I were to get a B, I would consider the course a success. I can't say anything for certain about the other two classes but I am relieved to think that I have come out in a favorable position after this year and now that I have gotten a wee taste of what the degree is going to be like, I am more motivated than terrified going into next fall. I am also resolved to spend some time this summer going over material for next year's classes so that I don't get caught by surprise (and just 'cause I can). What a dork.

Also in the way of comebacks: I lost my laptop power cord last week during the frenzy of review sessions and so finally broke down today and bought a new cable for $71 at the campus mac store. Buuuut, before leaving campus this afternoon, I made one last check in the Physics Dept. office and it just so happened that someone returned my cable a few hours earlier. So now I have two. If I think of it that way, I feel better about the expense.

I plan to spend the next few days getting ready for Toronto and cleaning my apartment. Maybe I'll get to read, too. I think that, for now, I'm going to stop sitting in front of this computer.
