Trig and Trains
I am sitting in studio getting some work done - a shocking departure from the rather sedate last four weeks, I know.
Work was as it has been of late. I ended up using some trigonometry to calculate some angles, which I honestly haven't done in years. It was comforting that I knew what I needed to find to determine the answer, though it is also just as comforting to know that the explanation of how to do it exactly is readily available online. I took a brief journey in the afternoon two stops from Town Hall to Kings Cross to take a few pictures that had gone missing since last week. I was only gone about 20 minutes or so including travel time - I shocked the person that sits next to me when I arrived back at my desk ("did you leave?"). I said something along the lines of "the transit here is effective and efficient." She retorted something akin to "that is the first time I have ever heard either of those words used in conjunction with our transit system." My determination - people don't realize how good they have it as regards transit. I saw the phenomenon in Europe and I see it here too... While there is always room for improvement, the bones of the system are commendable.
I had a quick dinner when I got home from work and then came into studio to meet with a group from my studio and our professor. I think I will head home and munch on some of the leftover birthday cake from Abs' birthday and finish up this assignment.
The updates have somehow gotten a bit less exciting - I promise to have some more adventures soon! Tomorrow marks a month over here according to my cell phone plan which expires tomorrow (that being said I don't know what month only has 27 days... Oh Vodafone?). Guess I need to go find a Vodafone store to recharge my plan.
