As my ex-co-workers get started with RA training back in Morgantown, their two weeks of purgatory will coincide with my two weeks left stateside: I leave from PIT at 10:30 on the first Monday of school. With any luck I’ll be able to find a way to actually get to the airport: it’s my father’s first day of class in Montgomery, too, and it would be quite a drive to make it to PIT by 8:30 from here anyway.
I have e-mailed my roommate and not gotten anything back… hope he can understand me at least a little, it’ll make things run smoother.
Finally took my tuberculosis test (well, the first part: I still need to get it read on Friday) at the Health Dept. here today, which has started charging. I guess they can’t be expected to do everything for free, but it would have been nice if $10 had bought a bandage instead of a piece of (unwrapped) gauze off the counter.
I’ve started thinking about communications: I’ll need to try to sweet-talk Sprint into cancelling my service without charging me $150. For Hong Kong, I’ve done a little research and it looks like the CSL Prepaid SIM card will work fine, as long as I can find a tolerably-priced unlocked phone. I might even be able to get reasonable (around five US cents/minute) international rates, which would be nice.
Meanwhile, law applications have continued to distract me from the more important goal of finishing a paper for my Summer Guided Reading course in Information Ethics. To my frustration, many of the schools require a “certification letter” to be sent by mail. But instead of writing about this, I think I need to go write ten pages or so about Information Ethics. And upgrade the blogging software… NO. Information Ethics. Capitalized Words. Yes.
