Okay, Rocinante has suddenly recieved another lease on life, as the bike shop's air pump did wonders for her wheels. I'm pretty sure she's going to fall apart soon anyway, but hey, while she works, eh? I tried riding it to school, but collapsed midway (and I mean collapsed; apparently, by back is covered in road-crap) (note to concerned adults: no, not collapsed collapsed, I got tired and dizzy and got off the road immediately. I was never on the road if I didn't think I was competant enough to be there) (so collapsed here really means 'I was dizzy enough that I really wanted to lie down on the pavement; which I did. Hence back').
I was this close to just locking my bike up and taking a cab back home - I finished locking the bike up, in fact. Suddenly a blue open-backed van drives up and honks - on Clementi flyover too, no less. My first thought - oddly enough - was that it was a PUB van, and they were complaining 'cos I was locking my bicycle onto state property (that's good timing, I remember thinking) when the occupants came out and asked me if I wanted a ride. Then I saw the NUS logo. They weren't just from NUS, though - they were from two labs down from mine. Like, two. And they had an open-back van, with enough space for my bicycle. How lucky is that?
Anywho, I don't feel nauseous now, so I think I'd best be getting back to my life. Cheerios!

Heh, heh - another one! My last things-to-do post must be atleast a year old now, if not more.
Sometime this week, I'd really like to apply for a visa to the United Kingdom (but it's Thursday tomorrow, and Friday day after, so not much time). Sometime this week, I'd really like to get the GenBankExplorer's multiple export working, as well as the probably-more-important BaseSequence import system. Sometime this week, I'd really, really, really like to either get my bicycle fixed, or just throw it away and buy a new one. That's a big one. A lot of my friends are doing fun and interesting things with their bicycles, the weather is - if you can catch it when it's not raining - beautiful, and I'm bored. Besides which, I really feel the need to exercise, and this is about the easiest way to make me do it.
So, yeah. If I can get up early enough tomorrow (is it really 3:30am already?) I'm getting my bicycle fixed. UK Visa can wait for Friday, I think/hope. Or even next week. If you think this week's going to be busy, next week's going to be much worse. Good thing I'll have my bicycle by then, though.

"A beach house," he said, "doesn't even have to be on the beach. Though the best ones are. We all like to congregate," he went on, "at boundary conditions". "Really?" said Arthur. "Where land meets water. Where earth meets air. Where body meets mind. Where space meets time. We like to be on one side, and look at the other."
