Lessons of the day:

When flying on the shuttle between Washington DC and Boston at 9pm from National Airport it is completely unnecessary to get to the airport an hour and twenty minutes early, no matter what they say. Go home, get your i-pod and inhaler, you won’t miss the flight.

When being paid hourly GO HOME at 5 pm. Especially if you have a flight to catch and haven’t packed yet (so you don’t forget your i-pod and inhaler, or run around like a lunatic thus frightening the cats, who will subsequently most likely pee on your bed).

Bank of America exists in Boston. Who knew? (except all of you Bostonians… you don’t count)

Tourists can be made noticeable by
a. their accents
b. their exclamation over the presence of Annie’s Pretzel stand in the airport
c. being tanned orange and wearing white pants in November

Stress makes you an unpleasant person. Don’t flip out, and breathe (so that you don’t need the inhaler you left at home)

No matter what you say, you aren’t really going to study for the GRE at the airport, on the plane, or while you are in Boston. Let’s be honest.

The combination of $7 earphones and your computer effectively mimics an ipod until you want to start walking.

Your dependence on your ipod, and the fact that you noticed it was missing a full 45 minutes before your inhaler is somewhat distressing and you should probably have your head examined.
