...Well, I shouldn't complain. Brought this on myself. Grr ( Read more... )

I broke my APO pledge pin. I'd been keeping it on the flap of my messenger bag, which was a dumb move -- I've lost/broken more than one snarky button that way, when they scrape against things and the attachment part tears loose or bends off or what have you. But I didn't notice the pin had fallen off until like an hour later, by which time I had no ( Read more... )

I've had this pair of pants for less than a semester, and they're already going. Good thing certain parts are double-reinforced, or else they'd have these huge holes in.

What is it with me and pants? I'm starting to rip through them like Terry did when he was little and he'd tear up the knees on concrete. I'm not even doing anything like that.

20.020, while a very interesting class, turns out to not include any bench work. All the biological design we do is theoretical, and everything we actually work with will be non-biological. E.g. the first day we did a paper airplane design exercise for team-building, and tomorrow we're going to take apart tape recorders. For the record, as trivial ( Read more... )

NO ONE needs to practice Pachelbel' ( Read more... )

I came back to my room just now and found it a little hot, and decided to open my window. As soon as I do, a spider runs out of the space between the pane and the screen. Ew. Squish. This is one of those nondescript, but fairly big, brown spiders that seem to be all over this place. Two windows in the lounge are screenless and chronically open, so ( Read more... )

My level of motivation / work ethic / energy has been fluctuating weirdly. I'm on top of all my academic stuff, at least, disregarding those two due-tomorrow calc problems that I've tried and tried and can't get -- those don't count as being behind. But for other things, like extracurriculars and community service and finding some type of ( Read more... )

That makes the third pair of favorite pants that I've worn a hole in the butt of.

Note to self: buy multiple copies of pairs of pants when they become favorites.
