Absent-mindedness Strikes Again - Wednesday, October 20, 2004
Last Wednesday after physics lab, I was working with the experiment data in the SEAS computer lab. I forgot to take my disk out of the machine when I was done, and I didn't notice it was missing until last night, when I needed the data for my writeup. By the time I realized, it was already past the computer lab's closing time. So I woke up early this morning and bolted down to the computer lab, with an ounce of hope that the disk would still be in the machine after a week. And..... it was!!

I had a few free hours before physics lab today and was able to finish up the writeup. Whew. I learned 2 things today. Well, I wouldn't say learned; more like was reminded of:
1. If you're using a disk in a public computer, don't forget about it! That's obvious.
2. Don't procrastinate. Easier said than done..
