Nearly ready to leave
I got to print out my poster on the large-format printer at school. Very neat.
Unfortunately, it's also very large. It's about 3'x4', and fairly delicate. I had to walk home with it so it wouldn't get damaged, then go back to the university to get my bike.
I went to try to pick up a nice carrying tube but sadly, the art stores all close at 6 and i didn't get out there 'till closer to 7. I picked up a mailing tube at Staples, which has more useful hours, but sadly the largest one they had was exactly 36 inches, and the end closures push in, making it too short when closed. Not so handy, although at least it's better than nothing, and while I was there I remembered to get some thumbtacks just in case I need 'em. Tomorrow morning, I'll hit the art stores and hope I can get something bigger.
I did my pre-flight check in, I jotted down the relevant info about my hotel on my flight info so that it's all together. I did laundry earlier in the week, so I should be mostly good to pack now. I transferred money into my checking account, so now I need to pay bills. I need to return my library books, although I'll probably do that tomorrow morning. I need to do backups. I need to feed the monster dough in my fridge. I need to sleep, badly.
I think I'm going to have a nap first, though, 'cause the stress of the afternoon's "OMG, am I going to get this poster finished?" plus the biking around shopping plus the, uh, lack of sleep... I'm pretty wiped. I'm tempted to just sleep right through, but then I'd worry that I wouldn't get up in time, so I'll just nap then do my last running around tonight so I can sleep soundly.
