Are we there yet?

Yet again, I think it's been the longest week ever.

On Monday, I had double Civil Procedure from 9:00-12:40, followed by a group meeting for a paper that was due on Wednesday. After my group meeting, which was held in my apartment building, was over, I went to plug my laptop in, and I realized that I'd left my adapter in my Civil Procedure classroom several hours before.

Crap.

I don't think I've ever walked/ran that fast to school before, but then again, when you don't have a bag of about 50 lbs of textbooks and laptop slung over your shoulder, you tend to move a bit faster.

I checked every security desk, the lost and found, and then went up to my classroom. Of course, there was a class in session, probably the third class to take place after mine was over. It figures that I didn't bring anything with me to read when I've got to sit on the floor outside the classroom waiting for an hour. I went to the library to check out one of the textbooks I needed to read from the reserve section, only to realize that I managed to lose my student ID since I'd walked through the doors of the school.

Crap.

Again, I ran through the school only to find that I'd lost my student ID at the Lost and Found office. Way to go, Dora.

As soon as the professor ended the lecture, I rushed into the room, went to my seat, and was disappointed. Of course, my adapter was gone. Why would someone be good and honest and turn it in? Why would my fellow law school student, who knows how important my laptop is to me, wish to return it to me? Or at least the proper authorities.

Asshole.

I wound up buying another adapter that night after my professor e-mailed me back saying that nobody told him about an adapter being left behind.

Yesterday in class, I found an adapter someone left behind in the row in front of mine. However, I was nice and found out who that student was, and returned it to her.

That's what a decent person would do.

Finally!

Another full week has gone by, and it felt like two weeks. I think I'm holding together pretty well and keeping up with the reading and work. Let's see if that's true for next week.

I've also tried Fresh Direct for my groceries and I'm very impressed. Subway fare sucks now and a round trip for errands will cost $4.00. I'm lucky that I'm able to walk to school, since I make a couple round trips per day (I go home for lunch and studying during my break). All in all, I spend 40 minutes walking between my apartment and school every day. Back, to my point, grocery shopping is difficult because it's not like there's a Wegman's around the corner. That's one thing I definitely miss about not living in New York City. I remember when I used to drive to my supermarket when I wanted to. Now, I'm always short on time because I have to study, prepare, and find time for sleep. The option of buying my groceries online is spectacular! I have groceries delivered to my door at a time that I specify (granted, the guy was late by 10 minutes) and I can have pretty much anything I want.

They even deliver tampons!

Meet iPod

I have welcomed iPod into my life.

He arrived on Thursday, September 9, 2004, at 20 gigabytes, 5.6 ounces. He is a beautiful fourth generation. He arrived in lovely packaging that made me feel like I was receiving jewelry from Tiffany's. I found it funny that the instruction manual addresses the iPod as "iPod," not "the iPod," so I read directions telling me, "Plug iPod into the charger."

His nickname is "Mochi." I am forbidden from officially naming him that because Josh said so. He gave iPod to me, so I guess he can have that say-so.

Unfortunately, iPod/Mochi is naked. Having cutting edge technology has its downsides.... there aren't enough good accessories for it. He won't get clothing until the end of the month, I think. I'm waiting to see if something good comes out.

But iPod/Mochi did get a new remote!

Never Forget

Ugliest font... ever!

I'm writing my first assignment for the writing program at my school. There are certain ground rules (I haven't heard the term "ground rules" since elementary school) that I have to follow. One of these rules includes a font restriction to 12 pt. Courier New. I remember how some people used Courier New in college to make their papers seem longer while I used Book Antiqua if I needed some help. I started using Garamond in the past couple years as I grew out of needing to pad my papers.

Now I'm forced to use this hugely ugly font and I think my eyeballs are sore.

Quiz time

I am Pacman. I am an aggressive sort of personality, out to get what I can, when I can. I prefer to avoid confrontation, but sometimes when it's called for, I can be a powerful character. I tend to be afflicted with munchies constantly. What Video Game Character Are You?

You're the loving smile,the one that is entirely
devoted to others,especially that one
person.You really can't get them out of your
head,but then,you don't really want to.
