Did you know Pandora has a listening limit?

Which is why I am 5 hours away from reaching the monthly listening limit of 40 hours.

Early weekend fail
I am taking my 2:00 Friday class pass/fail. Thus I don’t have any repercussions if I miss class. So I decide to take the 1:50 train to Boston. This is a great idea. I eat lunch fast, pack up, and head to the train station, arriving at a comfortable 1:35.
The train is at 1:30, not 1:50.
Thanks to Amtrak, who is subsidizing WiFi in the station as I wait for over an hour.

Can we please discuss the fact that I just wrote an eight-page paper and now I have to immediately work on my eighty-page thesis?
NOT COOL.
All you people with multiple midterms and papers due? Don’t even. I’m knee-deep in Biblical passages, radical feminist theory, and etiquette manuals galore….
But this sounds SO FUN!!! I like writing papers, I like being knee deep in stuff to sort...
