Rough Days...


Work was pretty amazing today, apart from my nice biking skills on the way there. Getting an ice pack was surprisingly difficult - had to answer a ton of questions from the nurse and all, and show her my banged up legs (which was really difficult and sort of painful considering my jeans don't roll up much...). So after the ice pack cooled/warmed/whatever, I said screw it and got Josh to get me a double-bagged Ziploc of ice. Much more effective. =P

Ran lot of NMR today, like always. Data's starting to shape up! Hopefully I can do some ITC next week for some variety haha.

Rode home early - biking actually wasn't that bad! - around 4pm since Josh left around then and I wanted to catch graduation. Which, funnily/sadly, I still didn't.

Basically got to the apartment around 4:45-ish, took a shower, packed for home, etc, and left for the BART station around 5:30pm. Got to BART around 5:45pm, barely missed a train, so I left the station a little after 6:00pm. Got off at Balboa Park around 6:15pm with the intent of transferring to the Dublin/Pleasanton line... Sat there for about half an hour and no car came, so I gave up and got back on Pittsburgh/Bay Point. 
Reached 12th Street Mission and our train stopped. And stayed there for about half an hour. Apparently there was some police incident around 16th Street Mission. Still don't know what happened - hope everything's okay...
In any case, got to Dublin/Pleasanton around 7:45, realized my mom was at West Dublin (my fault, I normally go to that station and completely blanked this time around), so I didn't end up getting to the school until like 8:15pm. 

Total transportation time: 2 hours, 45 minutes

Basically, the ceremony had long concluded and everyone had left. =\ I was able to catch Natalie and Julie as they were leaving, and Hsiang actually circled back! Even just seeing a few people made it worth it.

And then I grabbed Yogurtland with Clarie! =]


So in all, not too bad of a day, though I was feeling super bummed (and still am a bit) about not making graduation. Actually started crying at the BART station waiting for my mom to pick me up haha...

On another note, my legs actually really hurt. I think I might have damaged a nerve in my left leg, since I can't feel a part of it. Hopefully it's better (read: hurts miserably) tomorrow, otherwise I might need to make a trip to the doctor's...

Looking forward to hanging out with people this weekend! Mock Trial party tomorrow a little after noon (pizza and Just Dance!) and might grab dinner or just chill with Brandon. Speaking of people named Brandon, should get together with Fro sometime in the city. =] And all of the quarter people are back! Hoping Tommy/Connor/Evan/I can have another hangout? We were tentatively saying Sunday, but we'll see. Then it's back to San Bruno!
