OMG! Where are the RSVPs?

I thought that by now, my workload would have lightened up, but it really isn't. Due to my excess of presentations in the last few weeks, I had to put some stuff off, and now I have to spend all my time catching up. Plus, I'll have to work ahead this week so that I won't have any work when PHIL SHOWS UP!

Yeah that's right, Phil is hitting town from November 4-8, a Sunday through to Thursday. That's almost better for me than if he were here on the weekend, because I need the weekend to get any work done (I usually don't get my marking until Friday afternoons). Of course, I'll have some classes to deal with, but that's only a few hours out of each day. I really hope Adam's in town next week, otherwise he'll miss Phil and that would be a shame.

I don't know what I'll do when Phil is here, but whatever we wind up doing, it will be a blast. I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of video games, something I'm looking forward to. I'll have to teach him the ropes in Guitar Hero and Smash Bros so that I have a sparring partner. Haha, I'll make him practice while I'm in classes so that he can kick my ass like he does in every game.

I sent out e-invites to my party on the 9th. I haven't been able to get it out of my mind for the last few days; I just can't wait! As a break from my own work, I whipped up song lists for all the guitar hero games and all the singstar games, so that people who are waiting for their turn can anticipate what song they're going to perform. Aren't I thoughtful?

I invited just about everyone I can think of that would be interested, including a few people I only barely know from one of my classes. In addition, I've told most of the people I invited to invite anyone that THEY think would want to come. I figure that way, even if half the people don't show up, I'll still have a big crowd.

I've been thinking that it would be nice to visit Waterloo this December when I have no work to do, and while most of my friends are still in the city. The catch is that I have nowhere to stay. I stayed with Andrew in the summer, but he's not so confident in his roommate this term and doesn't want to impose. I certainly couldn't stay with John, because he's staying with Julie and I doubt they could fit another freeloader! I suppose I might be able to stay with Hugh if I asked, but then I'd feel stranded way over in Kitchener, and at John's mercy when I want to go anywhere. I wonder if Hugh still reads my blog...

I guess I've lost touch with some other people too. I haven't talked to Katie in a while, nor Caroline, and I haven't heard hide nor hair from Nathalie in a dog's age (although I think the ball is currently in my court in terms of correspondence). I guess my opinion is always that my life is so uninteresting that if I were to call anyone, I'd have nothing of any real interest to say.

Let's see what I need to do tomorrow. I'm meeting my adviser at 10:30 for some help with my algebra assignment, and then I'm going to lock myself up in the library with the measure theory text until I finish the problem I'll be presenting on Tuesday. After that I guess I'll need to get some lunch. Then I'll probably have to work on my algebra assignments until Adam's colloquium at 4PM. Then I'll have to get some shopping done (I'm out of juice and I want to buy Guitar Hero 3 soon). Then Prison Break with Grant and Chanel around 7 or 8 until about 10. Hm, I'm cutting it pretty close with everything tomorrow, especially considering I'm having issues with my measure theory assignment. Well, I guess my algebra doesn't have to take priority, so at least I can put that off if need be.

Listening to... Iron Maiden - The Prophecy
Link of the moment... OH SNAP I'm going to pwn this song
