I try and make it a point to make the most of business trips... I usually try to find interesting places to visit and make it a point to eat at places I wouldn't normally get to check out.

Well... this trip has been rather unforgiving in respect to downtime. Classes run nearly 9 hours per day and they're so mentally taxing that I really don't want to go out after the work day ends.

On top of that... I've managed to contract a head cold of some kind and I've had a hard time keeping my shit together. On Thursday night, I got back to the hotel before 6:00pm and opted to skip out on getting dinner with co-workers so that I could take a nap. I woke up just before Midnight... missing out on places I could eat at - so options were limited...
