Walking and walking and walking and walking and walking and walking and walking

wow!
i spent some of tuesday and almost all of wednesday walking around town and around campus…
the infrequent trips on the bus to the mall and back doesn’t count as a rest…cuz it wasn’t very long if you’re on your feet all day.

my feet hurt and i need new sneakers, but i can think happy thoughts because i know a summer visitor to our happy little valley (ack) will know how to get around, will be able to make grocery and go shopping by bus…will have a phone…will be able to take peter pan to boston or to the bigger mall or anywhere else she pleases…and will know some of the buildings that i know on campus…oh and will have a semi-clean place to stay, if not a clean place…and will also be able to eat…or cook or something if she so chooses…

now i need to go to the big mall to get sneakers
argh :-(

and i think i should just pack up and go home…cuz there’s no point staying as i can’t seem to do my work! :-(

  1. My feet ache in empathy. *bark bark*

  2. i walked from 10:30 am to 5:30 pm
    granted there was a one hour twenty minute break when i had to go to a lab lunch and sit down but by the time i was rested i was walking again

    eeek

    ;-)

  3. I am sowwy :(

  4. *bark bark bark*

  5. ah, it’s all cool…except for the degree that is..

  6. Cold here, brrrrrrrr.

  7. did you see the day after tomorrow?

  8. No, not much for going to the movies. Probably watch it when it’s available for rent. :P Are you suggesting the cold here is a sign of our impending doom? :-O

  9. no…it’s just you said cold and i did word association…

    i wanna see harry potter…*sniffle*
    and shrek 2

  10. Well, Lily(pad), I did see Shrek 2, and it was cute. Of course Pus’n Boots stole the show… but I will not wreck it for you… :)

    HUmmm, will they let you have roler-blades on campus. Just a thought? They are great on gas :)

  11. Walking is good for you. It’s a pity more people in the world don’t do it and leave the damn gas-guzzler in the garage. Don’t you go giving up on the paper or I’ll say something.

  12. I wanna see Harry Potter 3 as well. :D

  13. @Thomasso: they might…i don’t drive anyways, i just use the bus :-)

    @Stuart: hey it was fun, but i need new sneakers and that confirmed it…
    so what will you say? :)

    @Jess: ooo i saw an artsy movie today/tonight!

  14. An artsy movie, eh? Which?

  15. The Scent of the Green Papaya

    and About A Boy to counteract the no talking!!

  16. I liked About a Boy. Don’t know exactly what it is about Hugh Grant that appeals to me (must be the accent, heh), but… Haven’t heard of The Scent of the Green Papaya – was it good? I’m in the process of watching Winged Migration – the scenery is gorgeous, but the bird squawking isn’t my favorite sound in the world. :P

  17. I’m sorry for your feet… You really walked for 7 hours non-stop?!

  18. i loved about a boy :-)
    the other is, well it’s good…people don’t talk much…very very very little actually…

    hey mathibus, well…thank goodness for the one hour plus lab meeting so i got to rest :)

  19. hmm, walking…such is life of people without cars
    DO NOT go thinking about packing it in, it is exaclty those thoughts that are preventing you from doing your work…with you it is an endless circular thought…BREAK IT OFF
    so, what was the point of all the walking?
    i have still not done my work for my Prof., even though I NOW know exactly what he wants…still can’t seem to make myself do it, BUT I WILL!!!
    and so can you

  20. don’t think I meant my comment to sound quite like that…hmm
    tired, should sleep, but want to get rid of this nagging thing.

  21. rachel & Jamie’s lab has a summer intern so she needed cleaning supplies and i was free and showed her the grocery bus on tuesday and wednesday helped her find a cell phone to buy…
    and how to get to the mall (and trader joe’s)
    but she forgot how to get there…
    so yesterday my partner in procrastination and i went out to early dinner and took her and then we all went to TJ’s…and then um…procrastinated and watched movies and got her worried if she’d get like us when she starts grad school
    hehehe

  22. sound like what?
    i wanna sleep
