Patience

"The Fairytale was climbing up a mountain far too steep" - Alex Turner (The Arctic Monkeys/The Last Shadow Puppets)

Sometimes that'll happen. I went too quick. Now I start waiting all over again.

A lesson learned: better safe than sorry.

Story: I've been waiting for my bank card the last week and a half and I recieved an email saying I could now pick up my card at the bank. Excited by this news I headed to the bank with the intention of picking up my card and then going to Orange to get my phone situation settled.

Upon receipt, one activates a card by using it at an ATM. I memorized my pin incorrectly, since they gave me one instead of me giving my own. I was off by a digit. Now it's stuck inside that ATM and I still have no phone. I'm still in a slightly better mood because I finished setting up wireless on campus and can now get the shows I missed, but that is not enough of a positive to outweigh my crap morning.

I have Sociology of the state right now. [he talked fast but once he focused on a single subject it was easier to understand.]

History of international relations. Didn't know it was since 1945, I took this class with Targ at purdue, but that was from the American point of view. Everyone kept talking so it was tough to listen.

History of modern political ideas, cool prof. Speeks at a pace I can understand 100% but his handwriting looks like Arabic...
