I just got back from an overnight trip to Vermont for a wedding. I didn't really stay long enough to decompress, partly because I'm not quite ready to, and partly because I think I'd have an easier time of it elsewhere. I'm at the point where I need substantial distraction to get myself to the point of relaxation, and I didn't think I'd quite find it up there. It was a good excuse to catch up with my family, especially my brother. We sat around and compared notes about events both current and twenty years old. I hope that conversations like the ones we had over the weekend increase in frequency as we grow older.

I have my first statistics exam this week. I bought a scientific calculator that should get me where I need to go, and which only set me back about eighteen dollars. Provided everything makes sense in class tonight, I'm blowing off school tomorrow to do on-call for McCabe (unless they decide to schedule the exam for tomorrow, of course).
