The students have started to arrive today. It’s a pretty good feeling to walk around on campus (it was raining when I left my place, so I opted to leave the bike at home) and see people everywhere. I was walking past a group of Asian people who were being shown around by a tour guide, and I could hear one of them in very choppy English asking what “Aerodynamics” meant, as it was written on a sign. I looked over and saw that he was wearing a t-shirt that said “Say I’m Your Daddy”. I have to imagine the meaning of that shirt was probably lost in translation (assuming it was ever translated to him).

I picked up tickets for the Nas/Talib Kweli show next Saturday. I’m pretty excited about it. I saw Nas last summer and I was completely blown away. I’ve also always really enjoyed Talib’s music, so it should be a blast.

As far as school being back in goes, I’m really looking forward to a more consistent work schedule and having lots of people around to hang out with.  This summer started out well, but began to suck about a week or two into it, and pretty much stayed that way.

I should be getting my car back soon. I haven’t been driving for about two and half years now. I don’t really miss it that much, except for being able to go shopping. It really sucks when you can only buy enough groceries to fill up your backpack and maybe two plastic shopping bags that you can carry.  Other than the shopping thing, I really haven’t had much use for a vehicle. I get around very easily on my bike. I definitely prefer being on my bike to being in a vehicle. Not so much in the winter though.  Or the rain.
