driving to library: 5 minutes
trying to figure out where they moved all the computers when they redid the library: 5 minutes
log on to PC and wait for it to load up: 5 minutes
locate statistical software so I can do homework: 5 minutes
wait for statistical software to load only to find that there's some sort of problem with the software license: 30 minutes
switch computers and do all that again: 30 minutes
go to helpdesk again: 5 minutes
go to Mac, log on, boot up, start program to simulate a PC and start statistical software: 20 minutes
(at this point, look at clock and realize that your evening class has already started and what you thought would take no longer than half an hour has now taken three times that long...) [sigh]
do homework: 25 minutes
try to figure out how to print and end up just emailing it to myself: 30 minutes
(at this point, look at clock and realize that it is now 1.5 hours into your evening class and decide to scrap it and go home.)
remember that in 5 weeks this will all be over and I'll be one my way to Ireland: well... priceless.

This song is totally doing it for me this morning, so I thought I would share. Weezer + Sara Barreilles = great combination!

Erin go Bragh!
Today I interrupt your regularly scheduled St. Patrick's day festivities to bring you glad tidings of great joy which shall be to all Ericksons.
1. For unto us was sent this week an email, which sayeth:
2. And it came to pass that the Tyndall National Institute was located in a city called Cork in the country of Ireland. And lo, when these things were made known, the queen of the land was freakingeth out, and her husband the king also.
3. And, behold, there was much rejoicing in the land, for the people had long hoped for such an opportunity, their faith being strong that their cries unto heaven might be heard. For they had cried mightily all the day long for the space of many days.
4. Nevertheless, it came to pass that the people were much surprised that this thing had come about and they pondered these things in their hearts.
5. But lo, the heart of the queen was much honored that the king should be offered such a position, but neither did she desire that the king should go away and leave her for the space of many days, even unto two months and a half. And the king did desire that she should be happy, but he also desireth that this thing should be accomplished.
6. And it came to pass that this opportunity was too good for the people to pass up and they did rejoice exceedingly and did accept the offer which had been given them.
7. And so it came to pass that the people did begin to make preparations for this marvelous journey to the city of Cork in the country of Ireland. And they did praise the heavens all the day long that such a thing should come to pass.
