So it turns out that essay, which I thought was due last Friday, is actually due this Friday. So here I was this morning, waking up at 12:30pm, going oh f*ck, i was supposed to go try and turn it in this morning, then i called my classmate who gave me the lowdown. That's OK, at least I have the bulk of it done. I'll add a semblance of structure to it tomorrow, it'll make me feel better.

It turns out--now that I've used it more extensively--this keyboard I bought is actually harder on wrists. I mean, the keys give more resistance. But the keyboard on my laptop is a bit too high, though it's softer. Moral of the story--you want a soft keyboard that's at the right height.

But the mouse was such a good investment. Even Yoshida, who came in and stole it one day, said he really liked it.
