Here’s a strange side effect of DDR that I hadn’t counted on. I have this black bucket hat I wear all the time, and of course I have it on when I do DDR. But tonight it was, as those kooky kids today would say, ass-cold, and my hat started to freeze. It’s never done that before, and unfortunately it’s too ragged to sustain another trip in the wash.

I got my official GRE results today. Not only did the 750 Verbal and 800 Math hold up, but I got a 6 out of 6 on the Analytical (essay-writing) section as well.

And the wind chill’s 10 below, and only threatens to get worse as the day goes on. At least I don’t have to go out today, but it’s at times like this I wonder why I didn’t look at more graduate schools in Florida than I did …
