Apparently it will rain, again, on the drive back. As Annie likes to say, "This proves that there is a God and that He hates me." (Except the weather, so far, looks better than it did the Sunday that I drove up here so there may still be hope.)
On Wednesday I spent almost an entire day at the library. It was very restful to be indoors with books while the wind howled outside (the wind was almost Davis-worthy that day). I also got a panini from the cafe, which tasted mostly of boloney and extremely greasy cheese and was, frankly, awful. Then yesterday I went and picked up some decorations for New Year's and waded through a stack of free magazines / catalogues that my parents keep for me because I like the photos. Via has always been fun to flip through, and it's a bit more relevant now that I can go on roadtrips and need to worry about changing the oil on my car and checking the wheels regularly. Kraft also apparently still sends me its magazines (courtesy of a box of cereal from when I was in high school), which I mostly look through because I like staring at photos of food). Then there's Ikea. I still fail at drawing furniture, but I can confidently say it's not due to lack of source material for practice.
It was genuinely cold last night. What's with that?
Today was...well, I did a bit of packing. Christine's directed me to undernet for IRC for books and now I'm downloading Calibre to Ivy, which should ensure that I will always have something not science related to read for the ...rest of my life, probably, even if I don't have the time to set a foot in a library ever again. (X-chat interfrace in Fedora 14 is very good, by the way.) Heading over to Kate's in the evening for New Years (ohmyGodanotheryear'sgone). For some reason my grade still hasn't been posted -- though this is not the first time where the PIs took far too long to grade things. My PI has only sent me two emails in two weeks, which is pretty good. I think I shall go and poke around in the garden, in the mean time.
