this morning was the monthly electronics swapfest, which i got up early for instead of showing up late like the last two times. the difference in selection was not noticeable. nor was there any difference in the crowd. it was packed by 9:10.

i bought a DVD of the director's cut of 'Das Boot,' which it turns out is 3.5 hours long. (!!) i'll probably have to wait until guy and i are settled in at los alamos to watch it.

rolf bought an aluminum atache case. it is hillarious. evan bought several mice, which he says he does every month and then they break in a couple weeks. but for a couple bucks each, you wouldn't save the money if you didn't buy them, right?

after a quick lunch, it was back to studying for the 22.55 final tomorrow. after four more hours of going over the notes, we went home for dinner. i felt somehow confident about my abilities.

MIT has a 'night before finals breakfast' thing just like coe did. it's not as well done though. the food choices were pancakes and sausage. at coe, there was lots of stuff. and the entertainment was a bad MIT jazz band. i went by myself.

i intended to get lots of sleep for the early 9:00am final manyana, but i was searching the web for that old 'infinity complex' game that i love when i found a webalized version of 'lord of the red dragon,' another BBS door game that i used to play.

so that's what i did until 2:00am.
