Oh happy day!

The alarm just went off so it's definitely Wednesday morning. I'm quite convinced that was way less than the hours the alarm convinced me of last night when I knocked off. If I didn't know any better then I would be convinced time was on some performance enhancement stuff but I digress.

There is sort of a mini-hurricane going on outside; well devoid of all the rain at least but I can almost swear I heard the trees outside cry out in agony. Despite all this, I'm still pretty amped for this hour of the morning; the good weather took off earlier in the week so that is definitely not it. I have this class to get to that is fast working its way up my all time favourite list; its Applied Sustainable Science and as a bonus its all of three minutes walk from my house . Why is this relevant? Well because I do not have to fight the famous 'Wind tunnel' that is the Cornelius Drebbelweg; as a slight diversion from this I must mention I have many a time sat in the EWI (Electrical Engineering) building watching people get blown off their bikes at that point much to my amused amazement.

So this class is just a pre-cursor to my other class in the afternoon - Sustainable mobility (which is what I'm actually so amped about because we get to work on/with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g3v00cBok8
the most environmentally friendly car of all time (and it looks like a cross between a Bugatti and the Bat Mobile - awesome!!). Before you start wrinkling your nose up at the potential of being bombarded with 'how bad you are for the environment and such like philosophy, watch the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAjLeSpj6PM
attached and tell me who would not want to hang with that, all day.

You see, the dynamic of being here is that I can balance it all out; Rocket scientist all day and at some point, figure out how to save the world. How many other places can you do that? All in one day? You tell me!
