More of the Same

This week has been challenging, due to a very full schedule. It was interesting to see a video in the Internet Technologies class called Cyber War. It's unfortunate that war is so prevalent on this planet. It's in the media everyday. 'Cyber War' is specific to warfare on the Internet. As humans we could hope to have a place with no war and the Internet seemed an ideal utopia with free exchange of ideas, but humans are waging war there, too.

I went to New York City this weekend, so that was cool. My girlfriend had a nice room at the Hilton on 6th Ave. and 53rd St., and she invited me to stay for the weekend. I'm from New Jersey originally and I had worked in Manhattan for almost four years, so it was nice to hang out in some of my favorite areas. I must have walked five miles, so I had some good exercise. I shopped a little on 8th St. by 6th Ave, saw my friend who lives in the East Village, and had a wonderful dinner with my girlfriend at an excellent Indian restaurant called Dawat on 58th St. between 2nd and 3rd Ave.

I drove the rental car down to New York from Boston Friday morning and drove back on Sunday afternoon, so I'm a little tired, but it was worth it. I didn't study as much as would have liked, but I'm feeling very relaxed now and will get a lot of homework accomplished this week. It's important to have a little break from working hard all the time!
