I have finally cooled down a bit after my last angry rant about all the morons who made my life hell last week. I’m still prettty ticked off, mind you, but at least I’m not losing sleep over them anymore. It helps that the moving/unpacking process is at last more or less completed (thanks in large part to Ikea and Staples, who can actually deliver stuff when they’re supposed to!) After much head-scratching and three or four trips to the hardware store, Trevor and I managed to install some nifty looking Ikea wall shelves in each of our rooms. Nevermind that we also have at least half a dozen extraneous holes in our walls and toggle and molly bolts because the studs are crazily spaced in our apartment.

Pretty sweet… as long as they don’t fall out of the wall.

Most importantly, my room is finally put together. Not that I minded sleeping on an air mattress, but how could I get any work done without a desk? Impossible! So after a week and a half of uh, reluctantly watching episodes of Star Trek: TNG season 3 on DVD instead of trying to study for my exams, I am at last ready to be super-productive. Really!

This is mission control beginning launch sequence…
