Back at the library after an early morning workout at the gym. That was super nice because there were only like 4 people in there. I've been studying hard in the mornings, and finding that I can't concentrate after say 4pm. It gets to a point where I can tell I'm just kind of blankly staring at the notes, which is pretty unproductive. I think I've been making good progress though. Need to get some vehicle dynamics equations on some flash cards though, have to know those.
It was a much prettier day yesterday, though it was colder. The sun was out and all the trees were covered in frozen fog. Today it's just cloudy and still cold. Amazing how much the sun helps when it is out. Random - but all of the apples here are tiny - just an observation.
I did break down for a Krispy Kreme this morning, definitely not "Hot Now" like from Person Street, but still tasty. How much is a dozen back home anyway? It was 7.95 here, just curious to compare.
Today is also the 30th anniversary of John Lennon's murder. Quite a big deal here, they spent nearly 10 minutes on BBC this morning talking about it. I wonder if the event was as traumatic to so many people in the US as it was to the people over here?
Oh, and I'm glad I'm not in Scotland right now! More specifically I'm glad I'm not trying to drive or go anywhere in Scotland, the roads are a mess and it doesn't look like they will get any better any time soon. I guess salt doesn't do anything at -18C...
during a run through central park last night, grant and i stumbled upon a huge tribute to john lennon pretty close to the dakota where he was shot. so i guess you could say it was a pretty big deal here too - at least in nyc.
ReplyDeleteHave you gone to London to protest your tuition yet?
ReplyDeleteYea, I think I just hadn't been exposed to exactly how important the murder was.
ReplyDeleteNo, no, I wish my tuition was part of that argument, but it's not.
