things learned.

today, on my second day of classes, i learned:

1. riding a bike all around campus after a several month long hiatus of bicycle consumption makes for... uncomfortableness
2. knowitall freshmen are hellannoying ("well, as you all know, the treaty of westphalia...")
3. smooshing words together is fun
4. the presence of a nalgene greatly augments the number of trips to the bathroom at 3 am
5. it is probably a bad sign if every time your professor of international politics says "age of empires", you smile and think of the awesome computer game with cheats that would conjure up flying purple hippos of doom and whatnot
6. i can eat a yogurt in 7 seconds flat
