I have most of the week off and plan to spend it on my many, many projects. I want to get through the Barron's GRE book next week and return it to the library.

This weekend, Chris's parents are in from Harrisburg and I'm meeting them. They probably think I'm really weird (you know, I'm that girl whose a physics major, with a couple bonus holes in her face, who doesn't eat meat and has a lizard for a pet...) but they seem to not dislike me, so that's good.
