Solitary Refinement

Posted on January 11, 2018 by Spencer

Got up late this morning, cursing myself for my tardiness. Jet lag still active. But at least I didn’t sleep until 7:30pm this time, woot!

Then I was off to the races. I made myself breakfast, read more Heuristics. I started writing the cover letters for my Microsoft internship application–this stuff always takes me forever. I plowed through it pretty decently, breaking for a taco at 2:30 or so, then continuing to work until past 5. (I also prepped some other writing samples).

I went to a yoga class at the CAB, which was nice, but harder than I expected because we held some poses for a long time while the instructor gave further instructions in German which I couldn’t discern from my fellow students’ configurations.

Back home, made myself an omelette-taco. (When all one has is omelettes and tacos, make an omelette-taco to relieve the tedium!) More friendly banter with Culmannites.

Returned to work, churned out more famously slow writing on the cover letters. I got to read a couple papers into the bargain, though–one in particular, by a lead on one of the projects, on adding user defined functions to Excel, was really neat!

Made myself some tea, read Brandon’s blog, and hit the hay!
