i got straight A-'s, a 3.7. it's not quite straight As, so i'm not an overacheiver. but it's not straight Bs, so i'm not an underacheiver. so i guess i'm, like, an acheiver?
on a completely unrelated note, i went to the hospital the other night at 3 am because i was really sick and didn't know what else to do (cori came with me because she's awesome). i couldn't find the emergency room and was wandering around outside the hospital trying to find it when a short bearded man comes out of what i had tested to be a locked door. i asked him wehre the emergency room was, and he said he'd take me. so he unlocked the door and took us through the backhalls of the hospital, until he found someone else to take us the rest of the way. after a minute of walking through parts of the world that i'm sure i'll never see again, we approch a double door and he says "oh, you get to see the robots!"
"robots?"
"yeah, these are neat"
so i'm thinking these are like people who get paid about $2/hour to do the same menial task over and over again, and are thus called "robots". but i was wrong. he opened the door to reveal a room of white things that looked like giraffes with their legs cut off running around carrying things on their backs. apparently each one of these costs about $1,000,000 and there are 100 of them. you do the math. their job is to carrying things around teh hospital: linens, food, supplies, etc. they can go anywhere. they can remotely call for elevators instead of pushing buttons. they can leave the building and go into other buildings. they have sensors so they don't run into people.
as i walk by one of them, i hear "caution: the robot to your left is about to move."
"did that fucking robot just talk to me?"
"yes, i did"
ok, the last two sentences didn't happen. but the robot did tell me it was about to move. and then it chased me down the hall... asshole.
