I was upset and i found myself  out side of the fabric workshop (some of you might remember it as the place that had the interesting florencent tube shopping cart).  I entered the gift store.

Why is it that a store full of things that were designed with though can calm me?  Clearly, i wasn’t buying anything because it’s all junk.  but i always like looking at the items.

It was an all over calming experience.  And i read a book (read is a stretch… it was mostly pictures) about Overbrook School for the Blind, so i know a little bit more of what to expect for my interview on Thursday.  Seems like a pretty cool place.

p.s.  I’m tempted to go to Gazela’s Volunteer recruitment on this saturday.   It worked out well for my parents, maybe it’ll work out well for me?  Although, i should probably get a paying job instead…………

For earth day or something drexel was handing out rubiks cubes with fun facts of how you can help your environment.

Clearly… they don’t get it

1.  Lets waste resources to create 100′s of these to hand out

2.  Lets get something that was produced in china so we waste oil shipping it here

3. lets make it something no one wants to keep (or can use) so everyone will throw it into the garbage and it will be put into landfills.

Once again,  Drexel misses the target on being environmental.

Suggestion for next time… give us reusable shopping bags instead of suggesting that on the side of a piece of junk.  Give us a reusable coffee mug.

Revisions—–

I spelled Rubiks wrong the first time… i’m sorry and i have fixed it.

Apparently this is a green rubiks cube… http://gogreencube.com/rubiks.htm

but my argument is still the same.  It’s a piece of useless junk that will be thrown out regardless of it being created from recycled material.  And it was still shipped here wasting energy to get it to drexel’s campus.

So i was running late and borrowed brett’s bike.  I learned a few things from this…

1.  i need a 50cm bike frame… not 54

2.  i need two hours to stop shaking

3.  bikes are soooo much faster than feet.

summary:  i want one

I like the new york times… if only because of stuff like this.  I really hate jello but it’s rather pretty when you don’t think of it as food.

take that.
