“Is that a raised hand? Or just playfulness with hair?”
– Econ Lecturer
Another rainy day on the island of Manhattan.
I opened my eyes
And looked up at the rain,
And it dripped in my head
And flowed into my brain,
And all that I hear as I lie in my bed
Is the slishity-slosh of the rain in my head.
I step very softly,
I walk very slow,
I can’t do a handstand-
I might overflow.
So pardon the wild crazy thing I just said-
I’m just not the same since there’s rain in my head.
— Shel Silverstein
Best Monday Ever
Good Innovation lecture, which I paid attention to for once since Pobs wasn’t spewing bs he didn’t know about.
Aced my stats exam.
Sushi lunch. No food poisoning. Awzm type specimen book. Not just imo, forreals.
ACR quietly told me, “I’m so glad you’re in my class.” Best compliment ever from the best prof ever? Example for allzzz.
SUCK IT, RAINY MONDAY

And this is why I love Sesame Street now, as an adult (ha!), more than I ever did as a child.

While Moving,
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Yelling, “I’LL PAY YOU DOUBLE!” to those cab drivers that are hesitant about taking you and your load will get you a lot of stoppers.
Just don’t tell them you only need to go about 10 blocks.
