neurological dryer lint

mmmm. dinner tonight at biagio's bistro in clifton with steve + courtney + tony + sara + renee. tastiness = salmon with 3 cheese ravioli and a chipotle-cream sauce (spicy). salmon was pretty good, not as good as dad's but still quality.

i mentioned gibson's pattern recognition earlier - i'm REALLY digging it. the funniest thing, the lead character chick is allergic to trademarks. gibson does social commentary right - he makes the most seething trends into something clever and funny and perfectly fitting his characters and storylines. i can't really put the book down - i read it through all of my ops management class today - but i need to to study for my systems analysis final thursday.

argh. uc hoed me on classes too though. i have seven (count em) left - two IS classes (systems design and database design), two international business (managing cultural differences and global legal development), two general business classes (management integration and intro to marketing), and a four credit hour advanced (i.e. +400 level) non-business (any college but CBA) elective. to work enough hours for my office i can't really be gone more than two days a week - so i'm forced to take all tues/thurs classes. which, of course, they don't offer my remaining classes on. except two. which means i'm going til fall quarter assuming they don't offer them all over the summer. ARGH. i'm so close. if i could quit my job for a quarter i would be DONE in JUNE. :(
