Spring break is over, and now it's back to school. There are no more holidays till the end of the spring semester -- the end of my first year of college. It's gone by so fast, I don't even know what to think. But it's not over yet.

On Friday, I did manage to go to the beach with my sister and our friends Yamilee and Austin. We only stayed for about an hour. I think I like the idea of going to the beach more than I actually like going to the beach. The sun's unbearably hot, you have to put on sunscreen which is kind of icky, sand gets all over you, there are lots of people around, and, in our case, the water was freezing. I managed to get about halfway in, but that's the best I could do. It'll be warmer in the summer.

After the beach, we ate lunch and went to Whole Foods so Austin and Yamilee could shop.

That night, my sister and I got to hang out with our friends Nick, Mike, and Jarian. They've apparently discovered this Brazilian restaurant/pool hall, so we went there to shoot some pool. A lot of pool, actually. We stayed for about three hours. I'm not very good at pool, but I have my moments. It was pretty discouraging how bad I was, though. Another thing I noticed was that there were a lot of couples there. Mike and Jarian each brought their girlfriends. I also had my attention turned to a hot girl who was playing pool with her boyfriend at a nearby table. Every once in a while, they stopped to suck face.

There was some kind of party going on in the restaurant portion of the place, so there was live Brazilian music that was extremely loud. I mean, it was just two guys, but the volume was immense. I left with a headache, which continued to plague me throughout the next day.

Soon, my date will be rescheduled. Maybe right after I post this...

On Saturday, we left to stay at my aunt's house, and today, I got dropped off at the dorm. And here I am. I've been dreading coming back because I have a big physics test on Wednesday, but once I got settled back into my dorm room, it felt kind of nice. I just wish I didn't have to go to class tomorrow, though. Oh well. I don't have any classes on Tuesday.

And now, the links.

Unicode has some crazy Miscellaneous Symbols.

It's pretty interesting to see what Europeans think of each other.

This Visual Trace Route Tool might be of use to someone who wants to see where a web site is physically located. It shows theworldofstuff.com as being on Florida's space coast, even though it's hosted in Arizona. I'm not sure why there's a discrepancy.
