the past three days have been packed- i worked hard and played hard so had absolutely no time to blog =P finally have a teeny bit of time now though. just ended thesis seminar- i have so much catching up to do but at least i feel kinda motivated! random things i learnt in past 3 days-
1) forget about driving to downtown SF in the day. we couldn't find any parking meter that allowed us to park for more than 30 min-- found a faulty meter but apparently you can use this SF card to pay so didn't know whether the meter was really faulty or not so after like 15 min of indecision and scrutiny of adjacent parking meters we finally drove off to a private parking garage and ended up forking out $10 for parking.... =(
2) that i am a highly forgetful girl--for the very first time, i forgot to screw on fuel cap tightly after refueling gas tank, which resulted in malfunction indicator lamp coming on-- which freaked me out and made me think i had to send in car for diagnosis-- got upset that evil mechanics charge exorbitant prices just to see what's wrong..... in the end lamp went off itself, confirming that it was untight fuel cap problem.... so no worries now =) then this afternoon, cos of rush to finish reading classmates' thesis drafts... totally forgot i signed up for Prof's office hours and so had to send email to apologize... sigh hope prof doesn't think too badly of me now...
3) went shopping but realized that there are so many things i want to buy. but too poor to afford them. plus had to take into consideration practical issues like bringing these things HOME...
