Odds and Ends

So I'm doing my homework for my stats class and I'm totally lost. I mean like I'm e-mailing my professor my assignment for tomorrow explaining that there aren't any answers on it. I did as much work as I could, and then I got stuck. Like "hopelessly reading the chapter in the book, talking to myself, wanting to throw my laptop out the window"lost. At this point, I don't care if I fail the assignment, or the class really. I just want it over with. I have enough headaches at work without this also.

Next...if you're in the mood to try European style discount airlines over on this side of the Atlantic, I give you Skybus. They only go to Columbus, Ohio, so if you want to do more than see the home of the Keaton Family, you'll need to buy another ticket. And if you want to leave from Boston, be prepared to drive up to Pease, NH. But if you do want to see The Arch City (huh?) it'll only cost you $10 dollars.

Finally, guess who's no longer the world's largest automaker? Which I'm shocked about, seeing as how they did mass produce a vehicle that looks like this.

Some thoughts as a grad student

So I just got back from my first night of grad school, and asides from my pen running out of ink it went pretty well. As far as Pedro's suggestions, I have made the following decisions...

• I'm not going to take notes on my Mac, for a few reasons. I would be one of like 2 people in the classes of 25-30 doing it, so I don't want to stick out. Also, when writing papers off the notes in class, I'd rather type while looking at a notebook, than shifting back and forth between word documents. Also, that typing noise is kind of annoying.
• As far as the ladies go, they are present. However they are either much younger, or much older. So no worries there.
  
• I've already started some of the readings. I'm a geek, but I find this stuff interesting. There's a Boston City Councilor and the Boston Transportation Commissioner in one of my classes, which is pretty cool.
  

That's about it. It's gone well so far. I've got mandatory orientation this Sunday from 9AM - 3PM, which I will guaranteed be hung over for. Yee ha!
