I booked my flight to San Diego for the end of June/beginning of July. Going to see one of my high school friends and catch the Honda Civic Tour with Fall Out Boy while there. Since I am thinking of getting my M.S. at SDSU, I will take the opportunity to scope out the bar scene as well, as I am quite sure that I will be spending time in bars trying to decompress from the stresses of a thesis-track master's degree.

I love Southwest Airlines because I was able to get a round trip for cheap. Well, the flight down to San Diego wasn't as cheap as I thought it should be, but the $49 flight back was well worth it. I was looking for tickets to the East Coast and found that I could fly into Providence (hint hint) for $109 each way if I booked early enough. Whether or not I'd actually have the funds to do that remains to be seen, but I'm keeping it in mind.

All this talk about travel is making my mind wander off to far away places. I need to keep it here, at least for the next hour or so, so I can finish up some work. Let me tell you--taking a full load of classes and working part time in the lab is quite tiring. Especially since lab work requires actual thinking. Sometimes I wish I had a mind-numbing job where I could just shut off my brain, but I'm glad I have such an intellectually-stimulating internship because, otherwise, I'd be bored. And tired is definitely better than bored.

Well, most of the time, I guess.

Alright, kids. Back to work!






P.S. Suck it, Dallas!

OAKLAND SUCKS!

The Cowboys are still better than the Raiders.

And Nelson? That Benedict Arnold!
» Dilated on 2007-05-04 03:34:53

BAH! Humbug...
» Dilated on 2007-05-04 03:34:59

I'm hoping that Golden State wins the whole thing though so we can atleast claim that we were beaten by the best team.. and not just the team that has our number..
» Dilated on 2007-05-04 03:35:27

By the way, the bay still sucks. So does Oakland. And California in general. Damn hippies.
» Dilated on 2007-05-04 03:35:46

Go smoke a bowl and go to a gay wedding.q

BAH!
» Dilated on 2007-05-04 03:36:04

Congrats, though. On winning the series and finding a cheap flight..
» Dilated on 2007-05-04 03:36:26

Man Dilated, don't take it so personally, and ranor have a safe flight and try and get some rest you need it with all this work, its stressing you out.
» catatonicloki on 2007-05-04 03:52:41

THIS IS PERSONAL
» Dilated on 2007-05-04 03:52:52

Don't mess with Texas, Ranor!
» Dilated on 2007-05-04 03:53:08

We'll declare war on you.
» Dilated on 2007-05-04 03:53:17

George W. already declared it on two other places that badmouthed the Tx Rangers and Dallas Cowboys, you'll be next.
» Dilated on 2007-05-04 03:53:46

Know what? I don't even care! Vince Young led us to victory over California in the only sport that matters, football, so it's all good.
