Okay, no more complaining about what a hellish week it's been. But if I mention that I was at work until 11.30 Thursday night, I'll leave you to form your own conclusions :)

AndI'm still not packed for my move next Saturday. Oh yeah, I have four 30 gallon garbage bags full of things I'm taking to Goodwill today, but they were all from one closet that I furiously attacked during a spare hour on Wednesday night. In truth, in the very little spare time I've had this week, I've been too tired to pack. Not only have I been working hard, but my sleep has been continuously interrupted. Thursday night, for example, I got to bed only to be woken immediately by the police hammering on my door! It's the second time this has happened in the year I've lived at this apartment, and, like last time, it was a mistake - my apartment number is the same as the that of the troublemakers downstairs, except for the addition of the letter 'A' on the end. I'm not sure what they wanted with the woman downstairs, but it seems to have been something to do with child abuse. In any event, it looks like they're moving out too - on the same day as me. Can you believe the irony? They're the main reason I'm moving, and now, finally, they're being kicked out!

The last day of Java was a real chore. I was incredibly tired, and although it's been a great class, by the final day it was all starting to blur. As I listened to him going on about how one class "implements runnable", and that class "extends serializable" or whatever, I just closed my eyes and drifted off. The only times I came fully back to life were for the labs, where at least we got the chance to make things work.

Lunchtime in the financial District. People gather on the steps of the Stock Exchange to sit in the sun.

So now it's Saturday, and I've a day of toil ahead, once more, so sorry for the shortness of this entry. I simply have to get some stuff packed since I'm going away tomorrow, for a couple of days, and when I come back, that only leaves me three nights to pack up my whole apartment. Hope YOU have a nice weekend, coz it ain't on the cards for me!
