I’ve spent the last month not doing much more than working and sleeping, which is pretty sad considering how ineffectual I am at actually getting to work. There have been a few bright moments–Johanna’s end-of-the-semester house party, Brian visiting for New Year’s–and a whole lot of cooking and cleaning around Christmas, but mostly it’s been a monotonous blur with little energy for anything extra.

The end is drawing near, though; next week should see my code’s maiden voyage. After fixing whatever bugs exist… we’ll see if I still have a job. Not sure what the odds are, there.
