This has been an interesting weekend. I didn't really do a whole lot, mostly eat and watch movies. Of course there was a lot of homework to do, so that's what all of today has been. I'm taking a lexicography course, which is how to make dictionaries, but the last week has been all about theoretical linguiistics, metaphors, and semantic blends. I had plenty of that at Rice, so I'd rather focus on the other parts that I haven't heard before.

Oh, I also went out to eat three times this weekend (partially due to the fact that I haven't been to the grocery store since the beginning of December), which I found funny because I think I only went out to eat three times all of last semester. However, I think all three meals this weekend only added up to around ten bucks.
