Still too lazy to upload photos

I don't have classes today, which is completely awesome. But I do have a lot of things to do, such as buying books and reading them all day to try and catch up. It's not really a great sign that I'm already behind this early in the semester... Oh well. It'll be a comfy day in bed with lots and lots of tea and books. Is it weird that I say some sentences in my head with a British accent now? Like that one about tea and books. Anyway...

Last night I went to this science conference... No, it wasn't school related and yes, I went willingly. I really wanted to hear this group of scientists speak-- they're developing robots that are completely energy autonomous! This robot (called Eco-Bot) releases pheromones that attract insects, captures them, then actually uses their energy to power microbial fuel cells. Essentially, it captures and digests its own food. Really exciting. Also, there was a lot of booze there. Apparently, scientists like to party too. I haven't seen that much booze and beards since last time I was in Brooklyn. I wish I brought my camera (for the robots, not the beards).

Just for kicks, here is a picture my roommate snapped of me looking like an extreme tourist:

Here is what my future looks like, because I know you were wondering:
-Class ALL DAY tomorrow
-Getting up REALLY early on Friday and taking a boat to Greenwich
-Tuesday is Pancake Day!! Seriously, that's a real holiday.

Also, I just got the newest Sunset Rubdown album (a little late, I know) and it's alright, I haven't really formed an opinion on it yet, but here is the first track:
