Buffaloes

This past Friday, I went to GradPub, an event thrown by University of Maryland's gard students.  I was there via the invite of my friend Rob (no, not that Rob).  I've known this Rob since 5th grade, and he's a Ph.D student at Maryland.  Afterwards, we went into D.C. to meet up with my Shuchi and her acquaintances at Buffalo Billiards (DuPont Circle).  It was a very fun time, and I made a couple of new friends.

Afterwards, Rob and I went to the Coffeehouse, which is one of the most unique hangout spots I've ever seen.  It is literally a campus house, complete wiith residents and a dog...but they serve coffee, food and alcohol.  There are lots of couches, coffee tables and different rooms.  I had no idea there was a place that conceptually cool at UMD. 

Saturday night, I did nothing huge.  It was pouring, so I hung out with my sister and niece, bought some books, and did some reading and TV watching.  It still feels weird to be camped out in front of a TV.  Again, I hope that doesn't change. 

I've gotten back into the swing of swimming, and I can feel my body improving.  My back feels better, and I can feel my muscles (especially the upper body) regaining the definition they lost over the past months of packing, moving and getting re-settled back home.  I'm going to try to aim to swim every other day, but I've got to watch how much I spend.  Until I get a job, I'm flying through the money I saved from SA.  I'm hoping that situation will change very soon, but you never can tell.
