Have yarn, will travel

Yep, I'm back in the 'Burg, intermittently knitting and typing. Two papers down, one to go.

Whatever did we do without the Internet?!? In the past week, the Internet has facilitated my life in the following ways:

• Got me a ride home. Instead of paying $65 for a one-way bus fare to DC, I used the Cornell Ride Board. Got me there for $10, in 6 hours instead of 10.
• Got me a phone card. Thus I was able to call the travel agent in Peru for $.03/minute instead of $3.00/minute to confirm my travel arrangements for next week.
• Got my papers in on time. I can submit work done in VA to NY with the click of the mouse.

Obviously, this is just the tip of the iceberg; but it just makes you go hm.
