well, so far today i’ve had an hour and a half of quiet interrupted by 10 minutes of near-panic. word to the wise: when writing a report that will get released to the entire freaking country, try not to make typos, especially in units. i wasn’t the person who actually typed “degrees per second” when it should have been radians per second, but i was one of three people who should have caught it.
fortunately, it was just a typo, and not an actual error in the number.
i had a nice weekend. played soccer friday night, saturday morning, and last night (yes, it may be getting a bit obsessive), and it turned out to be a good weekend for it. though the co-ed team i joined friday night lost (and made me appreciate the defense on my other teams, as the defense on this team is one mass of confusion), both my other teams won! saturday morning my other co-ed team played the co-op team, and won like 7-0. last night my women’s team played the galveston brutes (ok, they’re not really named the brutes, but they should be because they play really rough) and we beat them 5-1. and i got an assist! granted, they were three players short…but i’ll take the win. if nothing else, we needed the ego boost. as drea said, “this must be what other teams feel like when they play us!”
the rest of the weekend, i took it easy. i ran errands, watched a new dvd, and drilled useless holes in my ceiling (long story).
yesterday i had lunch with nick, his high school friend eric, and eric’s wife jane. i’d met them before and it was nice to see them again, as they are both really cool. they used to live in houston (they met while students at rice), but recently moved to austin for jane to go to grad school at UT. we went to this place called the hobbit cafe, and sat outside on the patio. it was nice out, and as we sat there, i felt like we weren’t in houston anymore. the trees were pretty, and it was quiet, and cool, and just lovely. i have to remember to tell becca about this restaurant because she would love it–all sorts of vegetarian options.
nick also came to watch our soccer game last night, and then we had a wendy’s dinner. it was nice to have a spectator at the game, and even nicer to finally get to hang out with nick. he’s been here for almost two months, and i think last night may have been the first time we’ve gotten to hang out on our own. turns out that i sorta miss the big jerk.
i mean, nice guy.
