Wednesday...

So random energy saving tip of the day from the folks over at Lifehacker (I think everyone should subscribe to the Lifehacker RSS feed/blog, some great stuff, though most of it has to do with stuff you can do with technology).  Instead of doing laundry by colors, apparently you should do it by the weightiness of the fabric (they said type of fabric, but I think that is confusing).  So basically instead of separating by whites and colors, you should instead put lighter fabrics in the same pile, like t-shirts, and heavier fabrics in another, like towels, regardless of the color.  Then when you do laundry, you wash everything in cold water, thus not wasting energy to heat up water.  When drying, the lighter clothes will finish faster, saving you on drying costs.  Though I do have to wonder if that gets negated on the fact that all your heavy clothes are either going to need to take longer to dry, or separated into smaller drying loads.  I guess that would also depend on how good your dryer is.

Enough talk about laundry.  Registered for classes this morning, which is good, had been nervous about getting into a class since Monday, since the school does rolling registrations and it was almost full already.  I do know people, however, that did not get in, and it has brought up a whole slew of issues regarding the scheduling of IT classes at the university.  Though I should be fine, it is looking more and more like we as IT majors are going to have to band together to discuss the issue with the dean.  Yep, we are going to have geeks and nerds banding together to go talk to an even bigger geek and nerd.  But in all seriousness it needs to be done.  The fact that our classes are only offered during the evening, and not even every semester, is really hurting those of us who either changed are major or transfered into the school with no major requirements done.

Had a great workout this morning.  9 miles with 5@HMP (half marathon pace for those that don't know).  I actually didn't think I was going to hit my paces given the warm up miles were slower than normal, but was surprised with how easily I got up to 8 min mile pace and quicker during the last few miles.  Also the rowers are back out in full force, so hopefully the warmer weather is not far behind.

Oh the Masters start tomorrow!!!!

I'm jeopardizing my law career so you can throw, not one, not two, but three parties for some girl that you just met who's probably not even going to show up. I mean, where is she, Ted, huh?
