The greatest compliment that was ever paid me*

Ye gods. I've been sitting in the computer lab for the past near seven hours and most of that has been spent staring at the computer screen in boredom. It's probably taken me more than a good hour to read a single article, and there's still another pending. (Plus omg thinking! and planning!)

I don't know what's wrong with me today. Maybe I'm still dragging my feet at the whole, "holidays are over" concept, and at the sheer terror of what I've got lying in wait this semester. Going back to being a social leper isn't cool either. Well, no, not leper. Just that I don't interact with anyone all day, every day, unless it's an uberspecial day and I've actually made plans with someone. That'll be tomorrow (Elisa) and Wednesday (Lander), with a chat with Leslie also sometime next week.

Whatever. I'm so, so bored. I guess I could go outside and walkabout and check out stores (goodbye to the Spanish opening hours! everything's closed now!) or something.
