Time to go home....

I'm tired today (and Jerry is going to beat me on chess)... so I'm going home. I'm so upset about my last chess move. Everything was going okay (sort of..).  Tomorrow I have a paper deadline and I should try to wake up early.

Friend from England...

Paul, a friend from England gave me the phone of his (ex-)wife who is living here in Boston. I called her just now. It was nice to talk to her. I've taught (tried to) her Portuguese in England and this is how I met Paul. I tried to because I don't think I'm very good teaching languages.

Well, I told Tobey that I'd be happy to meet her for lunch some day she's around. Let's see if she calls. I gave her my email address as well.

Just hungry...

Still no luck with the gym. This is frustrating. Maybe someday...  I haven't had time to eat lunch so I'm getting very hungry. I think I may leave earlier today. I don't know. O maybe I'll just grab a "brick" there on the Qsoba (one of the 100's of mexican burrito places around here). I haven't tried the Qsoba yet but tried the other place that "invents" burrito. The one I tried was teriakki chicken burrito. Sounds good but doesn't taste that good. At least I'm having fun making reviews of these restaurants on Goodrec (a iPhone application that I like).  Ahh I just remember that there is another place here on campus that sells burgers. Maybe I could try that....

Am I me?

Well the sport facility did not accept my letter from the provost! They said the letter said I was offered a position but doesn't say I'm here! What? Am I here?! Am I me? I hate people who create bureaucracy out of nothing. Can you imagine this situation? I'm offered a position, I come all the way from Florida to Boston but I'm actually not working here. I came here just to join the sport facility illegally because that was my dream! One day I'll join the sport facility at NEU!! 

Chess

Jerry is kicking my butt in chess. I'll have to think carefully what
to here. :)

Breakfest in the house.

OMG, It was hard. I've bought a bag of bagels an cream cheese yesterday hoping to eat breakfest in the house. Well I did but the kitchen is so dirty that I wonder if it was better eat in the
bathroom. Anyway it is just too disgusting to be talking here.

I'm again in the T going to work and today I'm taking my squash racquet with me. I hope I can start practicing. I still have to convince the people in the sports facility to accept the letter I have from the provost. Let's see what happens.

Here Be Dragons

Thai was nice. Good restaurant. I'm at home and just watched a documentary called "Here be Dragons". A very go documentary on skepticism. You should watch as at it teaches how to use critical thinking. Here is the movie link.
