As a follow-up to my last post regarding the state of confusion that my life was in, I’m happy to report that everything has been cleared up.
Housing: We’ve signed the lease for 1313 6th St SE in Dinkytown.
Summer Plans: I’ve accepted a Math REU at Notre Dame.
Why is my life so confusing…?
I need to figure out summer plans and housing for next year.
Okay, I just spent the last hour updating all the backend software on this site:
If stuff is broken, leave a comment!
Why does Amazon tell you Super Saver Shipping will take forever, especially when it usually ships way before the time they tell you it will.
For example, yesterday I ordered:
Shipping estimate for these items: February 21, 2005- February 21, 2005
Delivery estimate: February 24, 2005- February 28, 2005“Colgate Phos-Flur Anti-Cavity Fluoride Rinse, Cool Mint – 16 oz”
Health and Beauty; $9.99
And yet it shipped today, February 14th, a full week before it was scheduled to ship.
I understand that the free shipping probably cuts significantly into Amazon’s bottom line (and therefore they’ll do a lot to get you to pay for shipping), but can they at least not lie about the ship date by a week!?
Update: The other items I ordered (3 books) were shipped the day after (Feb 15th). All arrived on Friday, February 18, almost a full week before the predicted arrival time.

So I went skiing yesterday and managed to injure my knee to the point where I can barely limp around on it. My family has taken to calling me “cripple” and my girlfriend calls me “gimpy.”
I really hope this gets better fast…
