Robotic Candy

Dear Blog,

I was in error earlier today when I said that my day was already planned and dull. Instead of watching lectures like I had planned, I decided to buy some snacks from Walgreens, so that my lectures wouldn't be too boring. When I was downstairs, I checked my mail and saw that I had a card from Victoria. The card was wonderfully sweet! I loved it! She even drew a picture of the two of us that made me grin like crazy. She's fantastic!

After mail, I saw Nikki, who invited me to go to the bookstore with her. I figured a nice excursion before learning would make the lectures bearable. She tried to sell back her education books (they only bought back one for $5, and she spent hundreds). Then we went to Hammons to buy her more prints (she had already run out) and then onto Sunvilla (it should be noted that I REALLY wanted to touch the huge screen in Hammons 104, but Nikkie said I couldn't... I'm sure it had to be touch sensitive). At Sunvilla, Nikki and Bridgette planned to see Eclipse and then Nikki and I scheduled one-on-ones with David, since Carol is not working this week. After Sunvilla, we went to Walgreens and I bought snacks and candy. I might have randomly knocked on signs and danced, too.

Driving back from the store, we saw a stand. At at this stand was the most wonderful invention since the Internet. A robot that gave you candy. We parked in the Kentwood lot, met Juli and convinced her to see the robot, dropped off our purchases, and went to the robot. It was awesome! I was so excited! Then, when I saw it, I didn't make a sound. It was amazing!

When I find that corrupted data file from DARPA on my lecture CDs, I'm redesigning my android to dispense candy.

Until next time!
