Oh goodness, what a day.

I woke up early this morning to do that latin translation, after 5 hours of sleep. About 30 minutes into it, I realized that a) I wouldn't get all of it done, even if I'd worked the entire 2 hours before the meeting with brown, and b) German is probably more important (since I'm getting graded on it and all), and I didn't want to not study and race through the test.

5 minutes later, after one pleading email to brown, I went back to sleep. Unfortunately, my idiot alarm decided to go off every 10-15 minutes and prevent me from getting an hour of continuous sleep.

Anyway, ended up with enough time to study a little before taking the exam, and I didn't feel very rushed. Unfortunately, ended the exam right before class, so yussanne and I didn't have time to review the dialogue... but that's ok, we did fine with charles. It'd be easier if it was just yussanne and I working together, though. one less person to coordinate times with...

after german and art history: coffeee. mmmm. and a krab/cucumber roll. I have to start eating at normal times, this can't be good for me.

spent a while talking to ben p, valerie, jonathan g, a few others in the lounge. for some reason, I get the feeling that the people here are amazingly straightforward and outspoken compared to many outside tech, and it's refreshing.

then spent several hours coming up with a silkscreen design. found a wicked cool zoomorphic dog with celtic knots - had to change the colors and resize, which was pretty irritating. ended up using a smaller one, inking over the lines, resizing with the copier and using the xacto knife to cut out the bits that weren't clear or were too large. it took a while. but the field trip to the interactive 3d virtual reality painting program in boothe was supercool - i've never gotten to paint in 3d before. Sam, you missed out. ;)

unfortunately, my plans of leaving at 10 and attending a meeting were shot down when i was stupid about burning the design into the screen. i didn't remove the plastic sheet from the screen (bad kirsten! though neither did the frosh who was working alongside me) and 50 minutes later, after the squirt nozzle had blown off the tubing and drenched me with hot water, jim came back and found out what i was doing wrong. -sigh- but it was salvageable! we just rescreened 'em onto other screens and replaced those. so i'm all set to screen another shirt next time. hooray!

unfortunately, it also took till 11. :( i'm tired.
