Friday was the 6.001 Lab Assistant meeting— where I signed up for hours, and had a bit of training. And also when the full sense of my responsibilities hit me: watching lectures, working problems, working all 8 of the projects so I could give students applicable advice. Janet and Min cooked fettucine alfredo and dumplings for dinner, and it was really nice to see them. They also expressed concern at my schedule, and I think I will be dropping 6.042 (sadly my most exciting class so far, but the only one that's not a pre-req for anything else I'll be taking. . .).


Saturday, I made a Galleria trip with Max, and picked up Valentines and chocolates to hand out. Brett’s moving to East Campus, so that evening I went over to help him paint while he and his roommate installed rug. After we were tired, we made an excursion to the local Krispy-Kreme's. This being my first time in an acutal Krispy-Kreme place, my excitement extended beyond the delicious douhnuts--- I got to see the marvelously amazing douhgnut machine, which, with its icing-fall and dough-squirter, would not look out of place in Willy Wonka’s factory.


This week is looking. . . busy, and slightly overwhelming. . . But at least it'll be a little better with one less class. *crosses fingers* It was my intention to make a Valentine's day layout from the Tsutsumo and Mikako picture I had, accompanied by my "You kiss me like a different ___ everytime" poem. . . but that doesn't look like it's happening. Maybe it can go up Friday night.
