An Interesting Workout

So I've been packing because I'm going back to Texas for a month on Wednesday. This morning at like 4 AM I realized how much stuff I had, and that I needed to get it back to Next House by today. Instead of asking for help from someone with a car or taking a cab like any person of normal intelligence would, I thought it would be fine if I just borrowed one of those luggage carts from desk and took it across the river to AXO and brought back my stuff on it. My thinking was A) It's free (no dealing with grumpy cab drivers who you have to pay like 20 extra dollars for them to even consider taking you with all your stuff) and B) I wouldn't look any stranger than a hobo, which in fact is not that strange.

If anyone is ever considering this in the future I would highly recommend not to haha. It's super embarrassing. It is a good workout for your triceps though. Luggage carts are not easy to steer. Also if you RUN with the cart it's even more fun. But then I realized that the extra stares I was getting while I was running with it might have been due to the fact that people probably thought I was like running off with someone's stuff haha. Because, who takes a luggage cart on a jog with them?


This is when I was taking the cart to Boston. It only had my rolling suitcase and my backpack on it. I probably looked really strange. Normal distances seem very long when you are pushing a very noisy cart with like one item on it.


... And finally an hour and a half later I'm almost at Next House with some of my stuff. My arms are so sore.

I rewarded myself by buying these tiny tupperwares from the Asian store. I couldn't decide between the square and rectangle containers. I got the rectangle ones. Speaking of Asians. There's like some Asian convention in Boston or at MIT or something. They're everywhere!!!! I like them because they didn't look at me weird. But I think it was because they were too preoccupied with their pictures. Also I like their clothes.
