A Funny Weekend

This post is being written in the midst of a number of homework assignments which I probably should not have left for Sunday evening. This is the first of three evils this weekend, which are as follows:

1. Excess homework done in the wrong order
2. Losing ID card
3. Window

The blame falls on me for all three of these problems, of course. I was doing homework earlier this weekend - in fact, I got my math done several days early. But, while it is good to work on assignments ahead of time, I have discovered that choice of assignment to work on should be made based upon what's due first (e.g. first CS, which is due at midnight tonight; then Humanities, due tomorrow morning; then Chem, due tomorrow night).

As for losing the ID card - I was at blues dancing on Saturday night, when I discovered that the pocket which had my ID card in it was vacant. I actually snapped my card into two earlier in the week accidentally, though I'm not sure how, but if you have all the pieces of your card, the replacement's free. But losing ID cards is different - those cost money. Only $10, but still. Furthermore, the office doesn't open until Monday, so I had to find another way to secure food for the remainder of the weekend. Which I managed...but it was a bit of a pain, and it was with great relief that my sister told me that someone had put my ID card back in my mailbox. Thanks be to nice 5C people who return card.

The final impressive moment of the weekend was today, after a meeting for the etc. players. The etc. players - Extremely Theatrically Challenged players - are a super-cool Mudd group that puts on short plays, that's trying to get running again this year. I am very much a fan of this idea and excited for this to start, but that's not what I'm going to talk about. When I was leaving the meeting, I was heading for the 2nd story LAC door. Interestingly, the window next to the door looks a lot like the door. So, naturally, being the space-case I am, I ran into a window. Not in a sort of head-turned-slightly-embarassing way but in a head-first, nose-made-into-accordian way. My head has been in pain ever since, but it was funny nonetheless. But to caution everyone on campus...focus when you're leaving the LAC's 2nd story. FOCUS. Pick the DOOR, not the window.

  1. Whoa. I'm pretty sure I commented on this before...either I didn't actually hit "Post Comment" or I said something worth deleting...which I don't think I did. Anyway...

    That window is indeed tricky. Looks like not-a-window, actually is-a-window. Every time I go up to the LAC to print, I always think to myself, "One day I'm going to walk into that window..."
