These days my weekends aren't about relaxing but catching up on things - school or personal - that I have missed or lagged behind during the week. Occasionally, it is great to have a totally goof-off weekend. This weekend so far has been very relaxing and the feeling of not rushing from on thing to another (aka just being plain lazy) is just refreshing. After Real Options Analysis class yesterday, I invited Serge, Nick, Sorin, and Chester - the party boys of the SDM 06 cohort - to my place for grilled food and beer. The ultra laid back boys night out was fun and relaxing after a stressful week at school. Now that I the weather is getting warmer, I know that grilling at my place will become a common thing from now on. Excellent... nothing beats a cold beer and grilled food on a cool spring/summer night.

Last night sleep, a restful 10 hours long, was simply invigorating. It sure beats the 14 hours that I had in total from the prior 4 nights. I started the day slowly by reading the last 6 issues of the Economist that I had accumulated. Now that I am taking macroeconomics, I have really become immensely interested in international economics and foreign policy. Speaking of macroeconomics, for the nerd in me, I did managed to slip some school work into today's schedule by reading the case studies for my macroeconomics class - what! they were interesting papers from my favorite class. I then went for a sumptuous dinner at my favorite Thai restaurant, Lanna Thai Diner which unfortunately was located outside of Boston (it is still worth the drive though). I came home after dinner and dilly dallied around for an hour, mostly to digest the spicy Thai food, before going for a run along the Charles River. I am currently recovering from the run by writing this blog. But as I write this blog I am already thinking what I should do for the rest of the night. To paraphrase the Clash's perennial song: Should I stay or should go - Should I stay home to watch TV or to go to Flat top Johnny to join the SDM 06's in celebrating Monica's birthday...
