Mmm, bagels...

Currently taking a break at Uncommon Grounds, the coffee shop of Georgetown, apparently. Styled like a Starbucks. They have bagels! That being said, I was exploring campus and found the business school. What a feat of architecture. Haven't seen a building this impressive in months. I'll take pictures later, simply because it looks so grand, with all the green granite or whatever rock-like material leading to the upper floors.

The drive was pretty simple. Driving along the Potomac at 7AM is pretty relaxing. Sadly, the south entrance was closed for construction, so I had to drive all around the campus to the north side to find parking on the south side, then walk back to the north side. Price for parking today: $15 for a daily pass (Anything longer than 4 hours is $15...) It ain't cheap, but there's no other real way to get here unless I take local Metro, transfer at Dupont to Rossyln, and then the GUTS. After that nuttiness in Metro a few days ago, I'm pretty sure I'll pass on that for now.

Unfortunately, I won't be getting Blackboard (and as such, lecture notes) until noon at the earliest, so I'm going to have to take notes the boring style. Seriously... when I take notes in a notebook, it forms neat lines and meshes poorly with power points. When I take notes on slides, it comes out much more disorderly, but somehow makes more sense, because you have the slide it relates to and diagrams for it as well. Messily organized!

Yes... red pen... because I forgot my black pen...

Hopefully, I'll have my ID and everything squared away so that I can get PowerPoints again soon.

Anyways, I've got 3 hours of lecture today, 9-12, and then a class meeting at 1. If all goes well, I'll either go looking for a house from 2-3 or simply driving home and studying.
