Yesterday was the first time that I stayed at Olin after midnight. My original plan was to leave at my normal time (5:00, everyday but Monday), work on Olin stuff at home, get Claudia from the airport at 10:00, and have a rewarding evening with her. Things did not happen that way. Diana asked if I could help her with some basic Matlab stuff, and I was happy to do so, meeting with her at 3:45. I worked on stuff in my office and helped Claudia with some 6.001 work she was frantically trying to finish until then. Unfortunately, Diana's Matlab stuff involved creating some demos that required fft/ifft functionality with which I was not familiar. After coming back to my office in time to help a student, at 4:45, I worked with Claudia until about 6:30, during which I solved the Matlab problem, hoping to get on the 7:15 train. However, when I went to show Diana my work, I realized that I had only gotten through half of the demo that she ultimately wanted. We worked for two hours, and when I got back to call Claudia, she told me that she decided to delay her flight so that she would have time to finish 6.001. I decided to take Diana up on an offer to stay at Olin as late as she did, and then get a ride back to Davis Square. Claudia and I worked on .001 until midnight and I leave Olin 45 minutes later.

I tried to write an entry yesterday. I'm just going to include it here, because it really doesn't deserve it's own page:

*Sigh*. If I keep getting work done on the way to work, I don't know when I'll have the opportunity to write my journal. As is, my eyes are openning and closing with successive waves of sleepiness. I only satyed up until 12:30, but I got up at 6 to offset. It has always seemed to me that if one is too tired to make progress on something, it is time make progress on a different something. That's why I always have a dozen somehtings giubgib a ibcd

I'm fading out too much to write this now.

Claudia returns today.
