Sunny day

Plan A this morning was to go to campus and work on homework. Two blocks out the door, I scrapped Plan A, which was clearly inane; it's 65 degrees outside. I went for a run instead and surprised myself: zig-zagging through Shadyside, Mellon Park, and Point Breeze, I just kept going. And going. My plan of an easy two miles telescoped into—I think!—five. Into Squirrel Hill, then down the hill through Chatham's campus, over to Ellsworth, then along Ellsworth to Aiken, meandering through the wealthy neighborhood on Westminster, then back to my apartment.

Then, inspired by our massive lab renovation last night, I reorganized my office at home so that I look out the windows while I work. Lots of satisfyingly tedious details like wireless printing and speakers went flawlessly, and I even got my pesky wireless keyboard to work for the first time.

Going to watch the sunset in Schenley now. What a great day.

Moira Burke

Psst! This is the blog of Moira Burke, a Ph.D. student in the HCI Institute at Carnegie Mellon University.

Rife with derivative pop culture blather, this site occasionally features thoughts on social psychology, usability, aesthetics, and the general meanderings of someone figuring out the meaning of life. Won't you help me find it?
