A nice ‘Black Friday’
‘Black Friday’, the day after Thanksgiving where most goods are sold across the country than any other day of the year, went actually quite well. Dad and I left the house around 7:30am and were back home by 11:30am. We had a plan, stuck to the backroads, and knew exactly what we were looking for. We made it out with everything except a printer and a pair of brown shoes for me.
The weather was just beautiful today. I went outside to do some reading (essay due next week), vaccumed the car, setup the new web cam, etc. Parents and sisters went to go see Casino Royale (they liked it) so I did some more reading for the essay. Now I’m studying for my wireless communication exam (on Tuesday).
I’ll work most of tonight, go back to teh apartment tomorrow morning and continue working on my essay, studying for this exam, working on my senior design documentation, working on this god-forsaken op-amp project, oh and do this new ece511 hw assignment. Yay.

Hey Saket,
Actually, I’ve heard that Black Friday is no longer the day where most goods are sold. Thanks to procrastination, that honor goes to the Saturday before Christmas. (I don’t know what will happen now that Christmas IS a Saturday this year). But retailers do end up making about 10% of their profits this weekend alone, and it is the second most selling-est day of the year. :) I know it’s random, it just seemed like the kind of interesting fact you’d like to know.
