Week 16, Day 5 Posted April 23, 2004 at 12:00 am

Attendance in Ancient Greece was strictly optional, as today we did show and tell. Some of the projects that others had done were actually rather impressive. I’m now convinced of the mediocrity of my own project.

The usual two hour break following Ancient Greece provided a convenient window for simulataneous C++ debugging and cramming for the Instrumentation Lab final. The latter eventually won out and as a result, I felt pretty confident about my exam results.

A rare cancellation of Japanese class opened a small window for me to try to beat the afternoon rush out of the city. My destination was Auburn, Alabama, and my aunt’s house. In the end, an earlier start didn’t do me any good as traffic still was already crawling on the bypass by 4 pm and there would be not one, but two different traffic jams on I-85 South due to wrecks and rubbernecking. After much too long a drive for such a short trip, I did eventually arrive safely in residential Auburn. The rest of the evening was spent visiting with family and making runs to various points of interest in the Auburn/Opelika area.
