Dear new blog that I just started a couple days ago,
Today my laptop decided to change its own display time to an hour later than it actually was, just to mess with me and make me think I was late for class. I told it to try to consider someone else's feelings for a change. That shaped it right up. Besides that, no new news. This evening there was supposedly a graduate picnic with free food and beer, and I really wanted to go but I was told I needed my Buff card, which I didn't have on my person. It was, in fact, lying innocently inside my purse at home, where I'd left it. Home is a long bike ride from campus, so by the time I finally arrived, I was so hungry that I couldn't wait for the free food and free beer, and just shoveled down whatever was in my fridge. Ah well, maybe next year I'll go to the graduate picnic, if it is an annual event, that is. I guess making friends and getting a free meal can wait a year.

The same thing happened to me when I got to the picnic - I realized that my entire wallet was back at the lab where I'd taken it out of my backpack for some reason.
Here's a hint, though. At any grad student function, there's always a way to get the free food. I just told them I didn't have my card and was going in to hang out with other people, and then got friends to go and get extra tickets which they gave to me. Duplicitous? Yes. However, I can live with the subterfuge if it means a free sandwich.
