Step 9Week 2 - Living in Lab
I have been awake all night. I have been building robots since 4 PM yesterday. All on the power of chinese takeout and powdered hot chocolate!
Around 3:30 AM, my favorite late-night cleaning lady, Peggy, offered me some Chinese food she'd ordered, but didn't want any more of. And her offer was well received, even though it was an off-time for eating and I wasn't quite hungry. The gluttonous student who doesn't know when the next meal will appear had struck, I suppose.
And, I reflect as I continue to pick pieces of bright pink meat from my teeth, that meat was tasty.
The sunrise brings renewed energy, stronger lasers, and hope. By noon I have consumed nothing more, than those six packets of hot chocolate powder, and Peggy's chinese food. I'm not hungry, but rather thirsty, so I buy myself a new gallon jug of water (I'm not sure where my old one's gone).
A note on water - I really like having a jug like a boat-anchor. I don't feel compelled to finish it, so I sip as I'm thirsty. I can always refill it, it's cheaper than a nalgene, and if the bottle gets broken or lost, I can always get a new one that's exactly like the old one.\
Gallon of Water: $1.29
Facebook Inc., decides to try to convince MIT programmers to write the hip new mashed-up blogoriffic killer-app by buying pizza the way the cookie monster buys cookies. There's just so much pizza, everywhere, on multiple floors of the building. Someone brings a few boxes back to the MASLAB/6.002 lab, where I'm madly building robots.
Hooray, pizza! Three slices and many pizza crusts later, I'm filled.
