Highly uneventful day today. Got up late, read more of David McCullough's "Truman," which I'm reading for a friend's mom. She's having dinner w/ the author when he comes to a lecture at oswego, and wanted some good questions to ask him without wading through the 900 page book.... I"ve been assigned to read "John Adams" next. Other than that, major accomplishments were getting a parking pass for my car (which took 2 hours and 5 trips across campus) and buying another fan and shower caddy. Really hard to find a shower caddy at sears. I'm ended up buying a paint roller bucket, which i think will work well because it can hang from the curtain rod. This beat my previous idea of using grill drip pans with a bent clothes hanger as a handle. Goes without saying I am not McGuyver. One of the first times outside of a Popeyes Chicken that I was really really conscious of being incredibly, incredibly white. I really think I was the only white dude in the entire sears. Interesting experience, being in the Bronx. My first impression leaving the Fordham campus was of a billboard for Hennessy entirely in spanish... not really used to that in Utica or Oswego. I'm sure the Buddy Holly glasses, shortsleeve plaid shirt, and khaki shorts really helped me fit in... might as well wear a do' rag (sp?) at an AD party at school. Tried to go to a Yankees game, totally underestimating popular demand for a subway series. I mean, I see games on TV all the time with no people in the stands, why do they all have to go while I'm here? If I'm in the bronx for 5 weeks, and don't see a game, I'll be pretty damn aggravated. Roomate came in today, really good guy- we're both getting up for the 6:45 MSAT, which from the preview I got in his study guide, I'll have plenty to bitch about tomorrow.
