Did I Forget To Mention?

So today I wake up at the crack of dawn to the sweet mellifluous ballad of 5 huge Mac trucks under my open window whose drivers get no greater satisfaction from life than slamming their cargo doors up and down, racing around the loading dock in reverse (“BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!”) and establishing the alpha male through engine revving. Only the most X-Treme men of the world man these rigs, reminding the hapless bleary-eyed college students quietly dozing on the floors above of their insignificance in the most awesome quest of foodstuffs delivery.

Squinting into the bright light and fumbling the window closed, I wake up enough only to realize that I won’t fall asleep again this morning.

9:20 AM. Damn, the air got stuffy in here. Slowly I realize I have a written German test in 40 minutes. Sweet! I do reasonably well on it, nice given the lousy morning. Then there’s a quite challenging OS Scripting Midterm at noon whose ass receieves a fair amount of kicking. But this day has more fun in store for me, so I get to wrap things up all nice and shiny with a quite difficult Data Analysis quiz who kicked my ass. Phew, its over. I get back to floor, only to realize that I just missed the Social Computing meeting I’ve been reminding myself to go to for a few weeks now. I didn’t get tax forms I’ve been expecting in the mail so the Feds will be after me come Friday.

Did I forget to mention Monday is the worst day of the week?

Ah well. I made up for it a little bit by browsing around for CSS hacks. See them in action at the spicy examples!
Tomorrow should be better; I’m getting tests back instead.
