Woo, college...
Edit: Woah, it really has been a month...
Edit: Woah, it really has been a month...
In the last month, I've not been very good about keeping a schedule. Like, really bad. And not just with this, but with my entire life. It's kind of horrendous.
As a percussion minor, I need to spend a lot of time practicing the assorted instruments provided. I haven't been keeping up very well with that, so I've been stressed and tired and blegh. Today I decided that I would get my shit together...after sleeping through three of my classes. I now have the practice schedule worked out, and I hope I can stick to it. Woo!
Anyway, given that I haven't updated in a while, I've mostly forgotten the things I'd decided to write about. I have these two notebooks -- one big one that I keep on my desk and one small one I keep in my pocket -- which I write things in. I forgot to do that. A lot. But what I did remember to write down was a reminder to write about packages in the mail room.
To start, at the beginning of the year, all packages were handled by the deep, dark underground secret society of mail room employees (the distribution center that no one can find). Recently, I got a package slip telling of a small package waiting for pickup. I raced through the maze of building and elevators to find the distribution center. When I got there, however, there was a sign that read, "All small and medium packages will be handled by the people in the mail room upstairs." I sat there for a minute, trying to find my motivation, then I went back upstairs to the mail room. I went up to the counter, handed the worker my slip and my ID, and waited. When she came back, she was holding a 16"x16"x6" box. For reference, think of those big history text books you get in high school, then make it bigger. To put it simply, it was not small. And I had to bike back to my dorm with it sitting on my handlebars. (I really need to make a package sling out of duck tape...) It was a fun experience, but I wish they would be more reliable with their sizing...
And something that happened today! It was really early and I had homework to finish, but I was hungry. I looked in the fridge to find the leftovers that my roommate had offered me, but he had had the same idea earlier, so there wasn't much of anything there. I looked at the eggs I got for weekend breakfasts (I'll make it work one of these days...) and remembered something my father taught me back in grade school. Tupperware is microwaveable. I broke two eggs into a small Tupperware container, added some bacon I had left over from dinner, and microwaved it for two minutes. It came out puffy, but cooked and edible. I was excited. I burned my tongue.
Happy Monday, all!
