And you thought nerds didn't move

I think I've gotten back to a level of fitness. Because I just did the Engineering Lab Report Dash.

Now, the lab where I have made my home is in a building that's not my aero building. But it's not that far. Decent little walk. Takes about five minutes. Now, I had to turn in my lab report by 5:00 pm, likely before because the secretary for our department likes to close the office doors as soon as she can, because she's a lose that likes to go home early. Sure, manning a desk can be boring, but PUT IN YOUR EIGHT HOURS, DAMMIT. At least on Tuesdays.

Anyway, I just finish up, realize it's 4:50. Since I was in an engineering lab and most people wouldn't even notice I was gone, I grab my report off the printer, staple, throw it in a folder and make a mad dash out the building. I also had an umbrella because hey, lookit, IT'S RAINING.

I sprint the entire way there, through the aero building lobby (and incidentally past some kind of shindig, and I thought dressing like a ninja got me weird looks), up to the THIRD FLOOR and make it just as Cranky Secretary is locking up. She gives me a little attitude about omg, having to close up right that minute, but my lab report is safely in the drop box and I can breathe.

Oh yeah, I'm in prime condition for this. XD

Now to figure out how to grab some food and not lose my spot in lab. I think this means I'm leaving some papers here and making it look like I just went to the bathroom. Which is allowed. I think.

And today isn't even close to finished. Still got a group meeting and my aerodynamics to finish.

A university experience isn't complete until you have to make a mad dash through a building to hand in a report at least once in your life. I always smile when I see people do it because I think to myself: oh sister, I have been in your shoes too.

But, at least it got done on time! :D
