Cognito... at least for now

First - the post immediately prior to this one was one I wrote a while ago, I just forgot to publish it. I think.

Second, I feel like I've been gone for a long time, since everyone has added three or more entries to their blogs. The truth is, my job this summer is extremely demanding and intense. This last week I got an average of 4-5 hours of sleep, and worked nearly all the other ones. Setting up systems, creating documentation and solving logistical problems can be very, very taxing. Last night was the first night in a week that I got more than 5 hours.

(note: I'm so tired that I didn't realize that I had already posted about being tired.)

Eddy's blog about cheering when his sister's name was called at her commencement reminded me of my own sister's commencement not too long ago (June 1). My brother and sister both go by their first initial(s) and last name as nicknames at times, so my brother becomes "swu" and my sister becomes "shwu". Their names are Steven and Shirley, respectively.

My brother and I decided we would try to outdo all the other students' extended families of twenty or more when our sister's name was read at her commencement (which took place in a quaint, but tiny church on a hill in Providence). We both yelled "SHWU!!!!" at the top of our lungs when she was called. The rest of the families were eerily silent and looked at us strangely. Later, we found out that our yelling "SHWU!!!" to the untrained ear sounds like we were booing her. Poor shwu.
