It really does! I am on some kind of worker's high as I complete task after task at my little table in the Heritage Reading Room. How can you not love this place? There are windows everywhere, outlets for your laptop, fans to cool you down after you trek across campus, and they don't care if you eat or drink. While the books in Sinclair Library are an embarrassment, you will never have to go home early because your feet are frozen and your nose is running. Yes, I could go back to my old study spot in the Asia Collection room of Hamilton Library but then I would wish for the air conditioner to malfunction.
Onward--> to productivity:
Completed:
Went to Ethnic Studies office, got a tour, saw my new mailbox and office. Office has Mac computers and windows! Take that AMST! However, it is still small and cramped and all the way over in George Hall so I think you'll be able to find me in Moore Hall come summer session II.
Kicked some serious ass in Settlers on X-box live. Edward and I can take on anyone. We trundle other players so hard it's like we barrowed them!
Several loads of laundry washed
Purchased super yummy and super healthy food for dinner last night (cold soba noodles with tofu, peanut sauce, red bell peppers, asparagus, and snow peas, a vegan berry cobbler to share, Acai-Mango sorbet).
Finished some manini (Hawaiian for very small!) tasks (manini is also used to refer to these fish below. I like the hand-drawn pic!)
Successfully avoided someone who is ignoring my emails
Purchased and consumed a Berry Topper from Jamba Juice...can you say yum!
Next: Heading back to my hood, Moiliili...
Off to the post office, then to Longs (great security guys, seriously!), more laundry, some packing, more settlers, potentially some mischief
Then: a sleeping pill on a red-eye flight to Portland.
I think it's a combo of the caffeine, the hot weather, the thrill of an online victory, and the fear of falling behind that is allowing this short break from the demons in my head.
