I wore my orange Virginia shirt today, and got a couple of “wow, is that a new shirt?” comments, including one from my advisor.  This seems a rather odd coincidence … why would multiple people think that my shirt is new?  Perhaps the orange too bright.

I also signed onto IM for the first time in a long time today. I think I just kinda forgot about IM for a while.  It started because my laptop caught a virus (from an IM, ironically).  Because of the virus, I disabled all of my internet connections.  When I finally got my laptop online again a week later (after delaying the re-formatting process as long as I could), I forgot about IM.  Maybe this is a sign that I am over my addiction.

Speaking of being over things … Ryan and I had been in email contact back and forth for a couple of weeks last month.  His last email made me sad, and I had meant to write back (not to say that I was sad), but then I put it off and just never did it.  That’s rather unusual as well.  Sure I am flaky with email, but I have never been flaky with emailing Ryan.

My parents were up here in Boston for Memorial Day weekend.  I forgot how much I missed them until they spent a few days here.  I almost cried when I drove back from dropping them off at the airport (oh yeah, and they brought me a car!).  They also met Jack, and the first thing my mom said to me when she met him (in Chinese, of course) is “oh my god, he is so amazingly handsome!”  SCORE!
