Another picture for your enjoyment:
Fun fact: I went back to sleep for another five hours after I took that picture.
Another fun fact: I didn't have to get out of bed in order to take it. That's a really interesting view to wake up to when you have a paralyzing fear of heights.
Also, I'm pretty sure my new roommate thinks I'm the world's biggest douche for staying up so late last night while knowing that he had to get up at 6:15. On the other hand, he left the blinds open, which caused me to wake up multiple times, so maybe we're even.
Also, it's almost 2:00, and my other suitemates are either gone or still asleep, so maybe my schedule is the norm now. Or not.
Wasn't I supposed to be making progress or something? This is surreal.*
Yet another fun fact: All three of the people living with me have first names that begin with B. I almost feel like my being assigned here with an exotic first initial like "C" was some sort of affirmative action initiative.
Oh, well. Time to get back to emailing the production coordinator at my internship in an attempt to figure out how the hell I'm going to get there tomorrow morning. Apparently, most of them take the subway and then walk the rest of the way. It's a good thing I've been exercising.

They're all named Bruce? They'll probably ask you if you mind being called Bruce in order to avoid confusion.
...
Hey CD- er, Bruce- do blockquotes no longer work here at SIT?

Hmm. Guess not.
Furthermore...
Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable
Heidegger Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table
David Hume could outconsume
Schopenhauer and Hegel
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as sloshed as Schlegel
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raisin' of the wrist
Socrates himself was
Permanently piiiiiiiissed...
John Stuart Mill of his own free will
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill
Plato, they say, could stick it away
Half a crate of whiskey every day
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle
Hobbes was fond of his dram
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart
"I drink therefore I am"
Yes Socrates himself
Is particularly missed...
A lovely little thinker
But a bugger when he's pissed!
(99% of that was typed from memory)
