Day 8+9

October 4, 2009
I call Tekserve in the morning. It turns out that the technician working on my computer doesn't work weekends. They didn't tell me that during the week when I called. I guess I'll have to wait another day to get an answer or even an update on my laptop. Jeez, that's another day.
I have some leftover hummus for breakfast and go to the library. It's really crowded because people want to work on Sundays. I hang around there all day and get a little bit of work done. I try to catch the bus, but it's running at 9:00 and it's 8:30 so I decide to walk back.
On the way back, I hope to find something open. Unfortunately, Baoguette and Latin Thing are closed. Even Subway. I'm stuck with going to Popeye's Chicken. Instead of getting some greasy ass chicken, I go for their chicken "rice bowl," which seems somewhat healthy. I bring it back home to find out that it's actually an unnoticeable amount of rice, some chicken, and a lot of glop smothered all over. I can only assume that it's cheese dip and goopy mashed potato. How appealing. Whatever, I'm starving so I eat it and it's actually really filling.
I talk on the phone with Katie and then catch up with Corinne. Watch some more homework and get a week ahead on my Spanish homework because there's nothing else to do. While watching some Mad Men, I get my work out done. Probably not the best idea to being working out at 11:00PM, but I get my five sets of pushups, four sets of curls, and three sets of situps out of the way.

I wake up at 9:45 after barely sleeping all night. Don't know why, but it's a bit rough. I grab my salad for lunch, my apple for the walk to the bus, and the water. During my Spanish class, I get way sleepy and want to go home and sleep. I run into Evan and we chat for a bit. I call Tekserve and don't get an answer from them. Then again, it's only 12:00ish and hopefully they will end up calling me later. I walk over to Au Bou Pan and realize that they're pretty much a rip off and why don't I go over to the deli and get some decent dized gourmet sandwiches for the same price.
However, I'm super tired and hungry from only having an apple so I decide to bump it up and go to Subway for a $5 foot long. I get their new buffalo chicken. I only have half. I can't imagine eating that whole thing without being in pain from stuffing myself. That's a good snack/semi-dinner for later. I go to the library and take out a Macbook. After a while, I start crashing and want to go back to take a nap. Even though I have ample time before my 6:20 class, the hassle just isn't worth it. With waiting for the bus and the ride back, it takes almost 30 minutes each way. That's an hour of traveling and wasted time and I decide to fight through it. This shows another way that the lack of laptop is screwing me up. Usually I would be home and have food in the house to eat, then nap, then homework and class.
Now, it's completely out of wack. Can't sit here complaining all day though and not be productive. Gotta make lemonade outta lemons. Gotta make the most of the resources that you have. Katie gives me a call in the middle of the day. I'll probably have to go down soon to renew this Macbook because there's a three hour limit on taking them out. I'll hopefully get some reading done and then make it to my Constitution class. I'll be mad tired after that and still in the library though...
After getting my Constitution reading done for week, which involves Googling about 10+ cases and reading their summaries on Oyez and Wikipedia. I write notes for them too because this way I don't just forget what I read and I actually have something physical. Also, Google Docs is a life saver by being my pseudo external while I shift between the Macbooks that I use throughout the day. They probably recognize me by now because I take out 2-3 laptops throughout the day.
My Constitution class is good as usual and goes through really high level stuff. I'm constantly surprised by the amount of extremely advanced and smart individuals in the class that can answer the complex high level questions he dishes out.
After class, I immediately call Tekserve hoping that I can get my computer back already or at least have an answer. I end up getting "Oh the guy left." So basically I was expecting some kind of news today and they put a notice into him twice for them to contact me. None of that.
The guy put in another notice and hopefully I will get a call tomorrow. Sucks that I'll be busy in class most of the day, but as long as I hear back with some decent news, otherwise I'm writing a mean ass letter. I was supposed to hear something last Wednesday or Thursday. And what kind of dumb system works so that only one technician works on it so that it can be ignored for an entire weekend because he doesn't work during weekends? How stupid.
Anyway, I go to the library pretty dejected. I guess it's a mix of me being tired, hungry, and it being night. It's pitch black and I'm still walking into the library. Sigh. I finish the rest of my buffalo chicken Subway sandwich with some Baked Lays. I actually look it up and find out that the $5 foot long I got is 780 calories and that probably doesn't include the light dressing I got on there. Granted, that's my lunch and dinner, but I did snack a bit today. I had a salad, though the only calories were the light dressing and Weight Watchers cheese. I did have a few Wheat Thin crackers, which aren't bad. With my apple for breakfast, I guess I'm staying pretty much on track for the DailyPlate recommendation says that I should be eating 1,355 calories a day if I want to lose 1.5 lbs a week. I still have probably over five more pounds to go so I want to hope to drop it down less calories than that with more exercise to get some real action going.
Anyway, I'm darn exhausted and really should go home to get some sleep or something. I know I want to do LSAT work when I get back, but my brain is so fried and tired.
