UMN day three A

i really need to think of a more creative title.

tatsuya ishida is still brilliant. seven deadly sins in twenty-three seconds.

and jorge cham is a genius. helping someone move is a debt payable by blood.

it's friday, so i thought i'd better get some work done before the week ends. well, what heppened this morning can be best represented by this.

when graduate students go take ultra long coffee breaks, you'd think they've got nothing to do, or they're too lazy to do their shit. well, has it ever crossed your mind that maybe they do have lots of shit to do and are motivated to do it, but the situations do not permit? situations like when one is supposed to log in to an account, but is never given the password to access it, and the only computer that one can use without logging in is inside a lab that is still locked at 11am.

then the only two computer labs i have access to are shit. one of them is uber hot, and the other one seems to be flooded by the air conditioner. and it took me about an hour before i realized that my backpack (which i put on the floor) is wet. and this is not an hour spent getting work done, but an hour spent napping because the reading is extremely NOT amusing.

the weather here is much more ridiculous than la jolla. it was super hot last night. then this morning when i woke up it was super cold. i went to take a shower and headed out to the lab, and it was pouring. so i went back in to grab my umbrella, but when i got outside it stopped pouring already. it was overcast as i was walking to tate hall, and as soon as i stepped inside (about 5 minutes after i left the dorms), the rain started pouring again. then i tried to get some work done (which ended up being an hour nap) and the first thing i saw when i looked out the window was SUNLIGHT. bright, yellow sunlight. clear blue sky. what the hell? if it were to snow later tonight i wouldn't be so surprised.

so here i am, at starbucks across the street, enjoying my java chip.

an old lady just took out her camera, aimed it at me, and took a snapshot. what the hell? do i look like a tourist attraction?

wireless is working again, hence the entry.

i still have not gotten my chips. i want chips. i see chips at three o'clock. vini, vidi, vici.

ciao.
