My day in reverse:

  1. The baseball stadium is only a block from my apartment, so I went over to watch the team beat Quinnipiyuck 10-4. The reliever got a walk-up homer, so that should indicate the level of drama the spectators were spared. Still, a good solid game.
  2. Got home from working on my thesis all day to find that my roommate, who had been in town all of three hours, had left the door unlocked, his ID and a mess on the table, half the kitchen cabinets open, his guitar on the living room floor, and a plate on his bedroom floor. Needless to say, the tornado effect left me spinning. Also, he threw out a perfectly good slug of lettuce. (Or he ate it, which is kinda scary. That was a lot of lettuce.)
  3. Had coffee and a bagel at the coffee shop. Agreed to meet Moriah for drinks and music tomorrow night.
  4. Went to the library to work on my thesis. Tried to track down maps of Northern Uganda and Southern Sudan. Had mild luck with Northwestern University's catalog, but nothing amazing found (yet). Did get 2-foot square (1:500,000) maps from the sixties, though. It cost more money than I care to mention to get them photocopied at Kinkos. I am starting to dislike that place....
  5. Went swimming, per usual. May have a case of swimmer's ear, which is responding to ibuprofen. *Yay*
  6. Thesis. And Adam delivered a bunch of computers that we fixed up as a charity project for my buddy/colleague/partner in crime Thomas. Everything came through pretty well, except for some punctuation issues. And we should deliver them sometime next week.
  7. Food got cold while I made toast and coffee.
  8. Made eggs for breakfast.
  9. Woke up.

This has all been a means of procrastinating on doing more thesis before I go to bed. I don't know why I thought I could pull this off in one semester....
