10 days down, 30 to go!

I meant to post this picture the other day but couldn’t get it to work for some reason. The file name I saved this under was ‘Big Damn Birds 2′, being the second of three photos I took of the big damn birds on the roof of the building right outside my room. [...]

Sweet Jesus, I see sunlight

Of course it pierced my retinas first thing this morning to wake me up, then went away again until I got over here to the O’Connell House to do email. I assume when I step back outside it’ll disappear again.My feet did indeed stay dry all day yesterday, and I haven’t lost the second [...]

One week down!

Did more work yesterday, got dead tired, grabbed a sandwich and went back to my room, where I read until I fell asleep at 9:30 or so. I meant to go to the National Library after the Mercer, but in my stupor I couldn’t find the right door and gave up pretty easily. [...]

Long weekend…some pictures

So Friday I worked all day, ate a quick dinner, and worked some more. Saturday I got out and about a little, and took some pictures which you’ll see below (it takes a while to upload and get all the formatting readable so I’m posting only a few). Then at 1 I met [...]

Had a relatively productive day yesterday getting into the Mercer Library and whatnot, and I should be more productive today if I [...]

Hostel pics

I didn’t take my camera out yesterday with me, so all you’re getting is pictures from my first and only night in the hostel (I’m moving to Trinity today)
This is my room at the hostel I stayed in Tuesday night. The bed was super-comfortable, the pillow not so much.
This is the lovely view from [...]

I’m here…

And might I say, finally. The flight from Chicago was nearly called off for some sort of maintenance thing, and then miraculously they announced it would leave last night after all, albeit an hour and fifteen minutes late. So for a good hour I was there at the gate doing variations on a theme of [...]

The flip-flops cometh!

And now I’m a little dizzy from sitting in my carrel at the library, breathing in new-synthetic-material-flip-flop fumes. I came up to campus to take advantage of the wireless network+file-sharing programs and all the YouTube things I’ve been meaning to watch (like the Gnarls Barkley video below)… I really should go turn in my reimbursement [...]
