Sasha talks interestedly and with abandon and so breakfast was about the animation strike and their background in 3D modeling. Got back to dorm, they had an event and I pounced on the chance to swing by Trader Joe's and get some coffee. Missed a couple turns but I made it, the drive was 10 minutes or so. Couldn't find the bus (at least, one that didn't take 15 minutes to arrive). Got back to dorm from the R lot but with terrible time cost. Somehow I swung around to Oakes and Rachel Carson -- these colleges look totally different -- and I think the trails are very circuitous, and decentralized. Got back to dorm by checking Google Maps near religiously. Waited for Sasha to come back since I wanted to show them how to use my AeroPress. Turns out I forgot my mug at home ... ay yai yai. (Time for merch from the local bookstore?) Spent the afternoon talking with Sasha about some animated shows we've watched and suggestions for each other. I think the big issue so far is my relation to time. It seems like everything I do has a time cost that is VERY steep compared to back home. Sasha had another meeting, whereas I wanted to go to "Blossom and Brush" (tiny potted plants you can paint). I think I snapped a few pics. But my god finding the Kresge(?) bus stop felt like a maze. And on the loop bus it was so packed I had to hold onto a pole while standing which would've been fine if I didn't feel so weak and unsteady for some reason. I got oregano for my plant, and I think I spent a decent amount of time, but I sat alone since it seemed like tons of people were congregated together in their own groups already.
