It worked!!

Everyone was very impressed during this morning’s presentation of our budgeting software. Josh and I worked on it last night until almost 4 AM (including a few breaks for shisha and food), and had to get up for a 9 AM presentation. It definitely went well, although there are a few bugs to fix and aesthetic issues to address.

When I left this morning for campus, it was -13° F with a wind chill much lower. When I got back to my apartment a few minutes ago, I realized that there is no water. Apparently (according to Capital News 9) there was a water main break not far from here that sent kids at a local Troy school home for the day. Hopefully I’ll have water again soon!

I also tried calling RPI’s Bursar’s office to see about my tuition payments, and for the first time in probably two or three years I got a busy signal (seriously, that’s not an exageration)! In the day and age of call waiting and cell phones I’ve become completely unaccostomed to busy signals. It sounded so foreign… And no, I still haven’t been able to get through. Perhaps someone took the phone off the hook on purpose?

And since I only got 4 hours of sleep last night, I think a nap is in order. :-P
