[It's all she loves, it's all she hates]
liberal arts my ass. i am totally annoyed with the lacking of northwestern science and engineering library. half of the journals that i need are not there. i am totally missing tech's library (which i did go see had the two journals i need, including electronic access to one of them). uck. there is definitely a plus in going to a school whose focus is science and doesn't worry about the rest of everything.
coke in the bag. at some point in the journey from class #1 today to class #2 my diet cherry coke got punctured and spilled all in my bag all over my stuff. my poor bag - it's been through a lot. my poor stuff. lots of it is now covered in coke - including the homework i just turned in. i didn't have time to recopy it - nor did i particularly care. i know that the ta will just laugh.
beat you to it. rachel, the little sister, called me this morning at 9:30 becuase she heard on the radio that it was 2 degrees in chicago. literally. it was. it was a record low at o'hare. i gather this was news in hot springs, where, she told me, it was going to be 70. remind me again why i moved to the cold. as much as i love chicago, the cold is making me count down the winters until i move. 1 down. 3.3 to go.
amusement of the day. so i take this online quiz that give you the places you should live http://findyourspot.com. i answer all of its questions and give it my info and out pops a list of my best cities.
Little Rock, Arkansas
Portland, Oregon
Eugene, Oregon
New Orleans, Louisiana
Fayetteville, Arkansas
Albuquerque, New Mexico
Corvallis, Oregon
Salem, Oregon
Shreveport-Bossier City, Louisiana
Las Vegas, Nevada
Alexandria, Louisiana
Hot Springs-Hot Springs Village, Arkansas
Monroe, Louisiana
Baltimore, Maryland
Medford, Oregon
Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Washington, District of Columbia
Honolulu, Hawaii
Sacramento, California
Milwaukie, Oregon
Heber Springs-Greers Ferry Lake, Arkansas
Holiday Island, Arkansas
Las Cruces, New Mexico
Astoria, Oregon
The top one - little rock, ar. the city i spent most of my life swearing i would never, ever (nevin) live in. albuquerque is 6th and the place i spent the first 11 years of my life. hot springs is 12th - where i spent the next 7 years. and would consider moving back to if i could run my policy dreams from there. since i can't - good thing dc made 17th. I have no idea why so many AR places showed up - it has no input for where i have lived. all it know is that i now live in chicago. i think it has to do with all the weather questions. though to satisfy those, i would also think that atlanta would show up. it is just amusing (and random). and no, i have no idea where holiday island, arkansas is.
