My mantra for the next two weeks and one day is going to be "backtoworkbacktoworkbacktowork"

Discoveries of today:

- The iTunes "Genius" playlist feature is actually genius! You click on one song and then click on the genius button and it makes a playlist out of your own music that's related to that one song. So if you're listening to a certain mood of song and just want to keep listening to that type of music, it totally works! Awesome!

- Chai in smoothies is great! Cool!

- After spending weeks scrunching up my shoulders in order to type at my carrel desk (this is why short people get back problems, I think... desks are not made for people who are 5'3"), I decided to pilfer a cushion from somewhere and make my own little booster seat. Much better!

- Ben can drive his remote-controled car around from his fourth floor scholar study. It was fun sitting in Wilder bowl for a while watching people be bewildered and amused by the little car following them around on the sidewalk. One guy pretended to Jedi mind control it, and Ben played along. Wonderful!

- Antarctica isn't owned by anyone. Some countries have "claims" on the land down there, and their territories are like pie slices that radiate outward from the south pole. Weird!

- I still can't find the library book I have probably lost. Whoopsie!

- Abby and Kate left notes for me in my carrel:
Yay!

- In my constant quest for places I can go and work when I need change of scenery, I found this charming area on the third floor:
You can't tell, but I'm sitting on a loveseat with my feet up on a big plastic yellow block. Mudd library is the coolest ugly 70s building ever. This picture can't really convey the absurd amount of yellowness that is going on here. My one-world exclamation for this discovery therefore must be... Yellow?!?!
