Flock of Bicycles
This morning on my way to work, there seemed to be more than an average number of people riding their bicyles around me. At one point, it felt very much like I was watching a pack of animals in nature. With their proper changing of lanes, hand signals, rocking back and forth when stopped to avoid putting their feet down, and non-verbal-inter-bicyle-communication, I realized I was surrounded by a Flock of Bicycles. And just as when seeing birds migrating in formation overhead, I was sad when our ways parted. I even waved goodbye. Seriously.
Got a thesis advisor yesterday. So that's really good news. Means I'll very likely walk in June.

Tommy: Did you hear I finally graduated?
Richard Hayden: Yeah, and just a shade under a decade too, all right.
Tommy: You know a lot of people go to college for seven years.
Richard Hayden: I know, they're called doctors.

Heh. I've thought of that scene myself a few times in recent days. Problem is, it's not just a shade under a decade. It _is_ a decade. :)

sheepskin is a symbol that aids heuristic decision-making in society. unfortunately, most don't like it when you who 'em a whole sheep.
