Engineers and programmers are the often-anonymous architects of society, and what you do now could make a huge difference to the lives of millions, even billions, of people in decades to come.

eliza has been hurt, yet again. and this time, she wasn't just sitting there. but once again, it's not her fault.
i was heading back from my cousin's graduation dinner at lucky house (yummmm). i was stopped at a red light in front of central. my light turns green so i start going.
out of nowhere this car passes right in front of me (she was heading down central). she clips the front left of eliza's bumper and stops on central. i follow... stop... and check the damage:
it was funny... because after i stopped... my whole family rolls by to see what happened (there's like 5 cars and 12 of us). the girl must've felt really intimidated.
don't worry people, i got all her information. i'm smart. and i didn't let her write it down for me either. i wrote it down myself. sheesh. i couldn't believe how many times my family asked me whether or not i got this or i got that or the other thing.
but yeah. gotta file a report tomorrow. perhaps call the insurance. i don't really wanna go through insurance because it's such a hassle... but if i am going to get a bike... then i can do without eliza for a while.
yay! almost done with school. just have to turn in my take home final on saturday (almost done with it). i believe i aced all of my finals this quarter. so i should be receiving triple As this quarter.
