an interesting sunday

yesterday, i took a CPR class so now i'm certified for a year! seems kind of troublesome to have to renew it every year, but at least now i'm familiar with the basics of it. i know how to use an AED! but the class was so tiring. i spent most of it kneeling and now my knees, thighs and butt hurt ><

interesting thing. i was wearing my smith college english dept tshirt with the word "word." printed on the front. and this woman came up to me while i was waiting for the subway at broadway-lafayette and asked me if i had graduated from smith. we got to talking and it was very interesting. her name is allison and she graduated from smith in '87, majoring in french studies. i have no idea what she really does (something with business/finance), but we talked about my current/future plans. it seems she was on her way to the whole foods on delancey. not many grocery stores in manhattan. i told her i havent really met any smithies in the city tho i know they're here. how small a world we live in...

and of course, given it was sunday, i accomplished zero hw. i have found it is almost impossible for me to do my hw at home. i just cant concentrate. so many other distractions on my computer. so i try to come out to the library regardless of whether or not i have class or work and do my hw. hmmm... i miss college! miss living in my own room... being slightly more independent than i am now. my parents spoil me, i know.
