I have a lot to say today but I'm actually quite tired (it's only 11! weird...) and I'm too lazy to type much. There's some pictures in this post, but you'll probably have to push refresh at least sixteen times to get them to work.

As some of you have heard already, my car died on I-285 today. I was driving along, and all of a sudden I heard this noise that made me think I ran over a large poster board. My music was pretty loud, though, so I just thought some papers in my car moved around a bit and I didn't hear clearly. Well, five seconds later, a red dashboard light came on telling me that my battery needed charging. Odd. My battery is one of the two parts of the car that actually works (the other is the A/C).

I kept driving since I knew my battery was good. But not even five seconds after that, my temperature needle shot up as if Ms. Bryan had sat on the other end. Bad. Then an awful odor went into my nose, giving me a huge headache for the next two hours. I pulled over immediately and found that the asphalt had turned green from my antifreeze. I opened my hood, and at the time, I only noticed that my antifreeze was leaking because a hose had popped off.

Far worse than that had happened, as Charles and I found later:

That connects something to something under my hood. Belts are not supposed to shred like that. (In case you're wondering, the belt is resting on my hood, and the pattern on my hood is the reflection of trees above.)

I'd like to thank Gene and Charles for giving me a ride today back and forth between places. I would have had lots of fun waiting for the tow truck without you guys.

My car is worth maybe $500. If fixing it is going to cost a significant amount of money, it's not going to get fixed. This makes me really sad because I love my car =( Can you believe this is the first serious problem I've ever known it to have, besides the chronic temperature issue? When I get a new car, it better be as ownage as this one.

Moving on...

I was at the Field Museum or something like that in Chicago. There was an exhibit about animals that said dogs have large penis bones and cats have a small one or none at all.

This is a T. Rex:

Check out the size of that thing! And I didn't take the picture at 90 degrees to the bone, so it looks shorter in the photo than it actually is. What a man!

Unfortunately, I don't think that's actually a penis bone.

I went to the school a few days ago to get my immunization records. You know, one of the things I love most about being short is that I never have to duck or bend over to avoid hitting my head.

Well, as I was leaving the Records Room (in the photo, the guidance area is past the doors to the right, and the Commons is past the doors to the left), I started flipping through my papers. As I was peacefully reading things (I found that my two lowest ITBS scores for one year were labeled "Math" and "Science"), I was suddenly greeted on the top of the head by a heavy object. Grrr. Who leaves smoke detectors and their 10 lb mounts hanging at 5' 3" above the ground?

While I was there, I got a picture of the new wing:

This reminds me of MIT. How boring. Hopefully it won't be completely gray when it's done, though. But look how uninteresting it is! Compare this to the former B-hall (which wasn't exactly a hall). That area was so much more exciting. You could find something new every day for four years and still leave plenty of things undiscovered. In this hall, there's not much to do. You can't even trick the freshmen into going into wrong places because it's arranged so lamely.
