I woke up to a rainy, overcast mornining sky which showed little promise of a pleasant day. This wouldn’t last though and I survived the day without great physical or psychological injury.

The databases test had a few surprises but nothing I couldn’t handle. Combinatorics began the first of many review sessions between now and the final exam. The professor has picks problems from the book and has students come to the blackboard to work them. It’s an old but effective trick. During VLSI we received promptly graded projects and not-so-promptly graded exams. I beat the curve by a comfortable margin but I wasn’t as close to the top as last time.

After classes I immediately returned home to pack for my trip and eat lunch. I watched an episode of “Ikkitousen” over Chef Boyardee. Neither was very filling.

The drive back to Dothan, Alabama, was uneventful. My parents have made a few subtle changes around the house in my absence, my room included.

In the evening I tried to set up a BitTorrent tracker so send a file to a friend in need. Unfortunately, I was never able to successfully get all of it working. The process is more involved than I initially thought; not impossible, but not as easy as some either.
