october 13th 2008 monday 11:59 pm i got back from a mini-trip that lasted two days. there were two beds in my hotel room so i made use of both of them by jumping from one to the other. i also woke up in intervals of two hours (3am, 5am, and 7am respectively) and got into the other bed around 5am. my sister does a very good job on figuring out things to do when i visit. she also provided me with good photo opportunities, but i left my camera in the hotel room most of the time. i also almost accidentally checked out without my macbook, but decided to check every inch of the hotel for unpacked items. the drive home took less than three hours because i stay around the 90mph mark and stop once for gasoline & coffee. when my parents call to make sure i am still alive on the road or near the city they ask silly questions like how fast i am driving to which i reply, "not fast enough!"
