Rat Attack

On Friday I first went to the second Biological Anthropology lecture.  During this lecture I learned many things, most importantly that Australopithecus lived in trees.  I had no idea and I am so excited about this.

After class, (which a lot of people didn't come to) I went to my registration meeting.  Beforehand, however, I decided that sitting through lecture deserved a reward, so I went across the street and bought a chocolatine.  One day, that's what I always say.

I was really excited for my registration meeting, because she didn't tell me that I had to bring anything and that everything would be ready when I got there.

I got to my meeting about 5 minutes early, but I couldn't hear anyone inside so I voted that it was my turn.  All the times I've been in offices here, people do this (what I consider to be) really rude thing where they knock on a closed door, and then open it and walk in.  I say, if you knock and aren't invited in, the other person is probably doing something you're not involved in.  However, when in Rome, I did the exact same thing.

The woman told me she was waiting for the person before me to come back.  I knew that wasn't true because I had talked to Ludovica when I was eating my chocolatine and she was the person before me and she definitely wasn't coming back.  So I sat down for a few minutes, and then the woman came back to get me.

Everything was all ready, though I did have to give her an identity photo.  If I hadn't been carrying five of them around for weeks now, I would have been real irritated that she hadn't told me to bring it.  She seemed confused about something else, but didn't talk to me about it, so I just sat there quietly.  At one point another woman came in and wanted to speak to my register-er.  She made me leave the office and sit in the hallway so they could talk about whatever *incredibly urgent* thing it was.  I was a smidge irked, but as I had nothing else to do the rest of the day, I got over it.

I got my Certificate of Scholarity and I went downstairs to get my card printed.  I took a picture with it:
After this I went home and ate something.  I don't remember what it was.

I was trying to watch "Rat Attack" on PBS which is a Nova special about a plague of black rats.  But then I kept falling asleep, so I took a nap instead.  That was a good time.

After my nap I finished Rat Attack and probably watched some more TV.   And probably read some.  Who knows.
