February 7th 2024.
Ran off to Prof. Boudewyn's lab meeting and subsequent lab around 11:41. I was FIGHTING for my life up to College Nine. Such an intense hike. But stimulating!
Had a couple of shots at Joey's. Wish I could say the same for Sasha. They had 7 and a half. Very very rough 4 hours but the worst of it is over. Ava and Kiranna are priceless, fantastic people. I don't know how the night would've gone without them. Incidentally that means Sasha's cozying up on my bottom bunk memory foam mattress topper now and I've got their top bunk quilt topper. I also never realized how little space there is up here. Accidentally bumped my head on the corner area. Got an emergency passcode for their phone and texted their best friend back home in Santa Barbara, Jack. Seems Jack himself had a little drinking as well. From a cogsci standpoint it's interesting how they remain so polite -- if overapologetic -- and meme-funny even highly drunk. It's like awareness of self-inconvenience is hard-coded into them. Though from a personal standpoint I just worry.
