woke up to my new alarm clock today. or, more precisely, woke up about 30 seconds before my new alarm clock went off. defeats the whole purpose of an alarm that is s'posed to wake you up gradually.
i had been dreaming about running. i think i was running into work, and then to continue the exercise, took a few laps around the interior of the building i worked in.
earlier, i had been working in the same building with some li people. things were going good until daniel got into a fight with the new guy for what seemed to us like no reason. i told the new guy that it was just as if he was playing a scripted part, and to not let it get to him. but he stormed out.
his girlfriend decided to stay and hang out though, and that made him even madder. so i went out to talk to him. i told him that he was just taking kris's place, but he wouldn't listen.
after work, this guy who had walked from kenya showed up. he was very upset. he wanted to see my kenyan friend's parents, so i took him to them in a garden. he didn't speak very much english, and kept trying to express himself physically. i was trying to calm him down. eventually he pushed me out of the way and slapped my friend's father. he immediately calmed down.
after a difficult few minutes of waking up, i managed to sit up. and then open my eyes. i put my last load of laundry in the dryer and took a shower. i folded clothes and sorted books. made a list. packed everything in my mom's van. i've decided that i still can't really have a car in providence, after seeing what people went through over the summer. we left about 1030.
got to risd, found a parking spot. got my new keys. lugged all my stuff up to the third floor. saw alex as i was finishing up. he said he was headed down to the gravity games (like the x-games, skating, bmx, motorcross, etc.) in a little while.
after i finished, we went down there with yuka and her (ex?) boyfriend. wandered around a bit, and eventually ended up seeing the skateboard vert finals. sam'll be so jealous.
we walked back up to thayer and had indian food. hung out a bit. went to an ice cream place. i had some really good pineapple sorbet. we saw a street juggler/rhymer. ran into this kid garth who was here for the summer program.
we all went back down to the river park (where the games are being held) and they were showing a new skater movie called the end made by birdhouse skateboards. it was really quite cool.
i came back up to my room and started unpacking some stuff. tried to get online, but it seems as if my ethernet jacks aren't activated. grrr.
