UW love hate relationship

Seriously, I am trying not to hate UW, or college, or education in this state in general. I seriously think they have forgotten about me, not having been notified about my capstone project yet which could potentially be starting today. There are people registered for the class, so it seems that I am officially out of the loop. Is this the second department that I have for some reason unknown to me, alienated at UW? WTF! I know I haven't been actively seeking a resolution over break, but before I left I was told that it would be a matter of days until we were told. Days turned into weeks and sorry, no, I didn't want to deal with this crap over the holidays.

... Last night I went to Snooze Junction pizza in Ballard. The rumor was free pizza - which was kind of true. Sabrina's coworker knows someone that works at this place and sent out notification for people to come. When we got there, there was a private party sign on the door :( But the lack of social anxiety by Sabrina payed off! We crashed the party, or something like that. Turns out they were really nice and talkative to us complete strangers about their pizza. They are putting the finishing touches on their business before opening in a few days. Overall the pizza was tasty, and you couldn't beat the atmosphere (well and the fact that it was free). Hopefully they stick around for a while.

In my future I resolve to attend more parks, bon fires and camping expeditions. Golden Gardens was pleasant last evening, despite it being a little cold. I was reminiscing about our kamikaze camping trip.

I am starting to like work again. It is challenging enough not to get frustrated but to feel a sense of accomplishment. They scoffed at me when I said implementing a certain feature would be easy, and I finished it yesterday. They were pleasantly surprised :)

God, with FIRST, work, school, and new social activities I am all flustered. There are too many things on my list to stay in this state for very long. Once school is resolved (did I mention, the only real stress in my life?!!!) I think things should fall into place nicely. I am going to try hard not to disappear this six weeks like what usually happens.

One of the funniest things I have ever seen:
