September 25, 2014 - Boring

Unfortunately nothing of particular note has happened in my life of late.  Hence, no blog post for a good three days.  It has been pretty rainy and I still haven't gotten to work out because I still have a tiny bit of a sniffle and my cough is still there in my chest a bit, so I'm trying to make a full recovery before I do anything silly and make it worse.

So I've been doing homework, going to class, reading metaphysics, or goofing off mostly.  We got our midterm study guides for one of our classes and I have paper topics for three of them.

I'm kind of worried about the metaphysics paper.  The topic for that is, "Discuss metaphysics".  I wish there would have been at least a little more specificity.

The only other updates I have are pretty trivial.  I discovered that I really didn't pack a lot of clothes, and the washer or dryer keeps eating my socks, so I'm going to have to buy more eventually.  I have no clue how I managed to pack 50 pounds of luggage and have half as many clothes as Clare.  It must be some miracle of her packing skills.

Second, they started turning the wifi off at ten PM every night - even in the Mensa - which I can't decide whether it is a fluke or not, because they're supposed to leave it on so we can skype past 8 PM to 1 AM.  Are they just being sadistic or is the router broken?  I missed a Skype session thanks to their 'go socialize!' principle.

Third, the university is taking a trip to Poland this weekend.  We're visiting a Basilica, an unveiling of a shrine, the birthplace of Pope Saint John Paul II, and Auschwitz and Birkenau.  We'll be moving quite a bit and I hear it's going to be a bit of a fast paced trip.  Also the bus leaves tonight at 8 PM and gets there at 6 AM.  .... I'm not excited about that one.  Being trapped in a small moving space with a fake bathroom for twelve hours just seems awful.

I guess it's worth it?  I'm not sure how long the trip back is, though, because we'll be bussing around various areas of Poland over the weekend.

I find out if I really lost my phone or not tonight.

Clare and I went and watched the staff ultimate frisbee team play against a student team last night for intramurals.  The staff lost 8-15, but I was cheering for the Staff.
