School is in session

Exactly a month after leaving work, I am back at school. Frenzied shopping, flooded airports, missed connecting flights, a meticulous search for roomies and a relatively easier search for an apartment, plus a surprise trip to the Grand Canyon - this month has been a tad above the ordinary.
Classes for Fall 2005 begin in a few hours and I am readying myself for some heavy fundae in Combinatorial Algorithms & Intractability. And although I have the faintest of ideas about what to expect, Algorithms somehow seem to be the pious topic to start off studies once again.
