Getting back on track.

It's been a busy summer. But most of it had gone by and I hadn't done anything terribly outdoorsy. I hadn't even done any bike tours in probably a couple of years. Oops. Towards the end of August, I got on my bike and biked out to Baden and back just to see if I could. It seems I can.

The first week of September, I took the week off and L and I went to Nova Scotia to go hiking in Cape Chignecto Provincial Park. We planned on doing the entirety of the coastal trail, 51km over four days, but we got there shortly after Tropical Storm Danny blew through, and we were told that we couldn't go hiking that day. After camping for the night, they'd repaired some of the trail, and we ended up hiking a rather aggressive 38km over two days, hiking along the very hilly coast to Little Bald Rock and back. My calves and thighs took a couple of days to recover.

Now that the new school term is getting started, I'm thinking more seriously about actually pursuing a master's degree. Mostly, I'm interested in the flow and visualization of information, so maybe something in the Human-Computer Interfaces program. I'll probably need to talk to somebody and figure out what my options are, given that I want to continue to work full time while doing the degree. I was going to take the Algorithms course this term, but because the CS program has changed so much since I was an undergrad, I was told that I should take CS240 first.
