Lake Oswego

I dropped my uncle of at the airport this morning because he needs to go to Phoenix for a couple of days for work. This leaves me his car! Unfortunately it was almost out of fuel so I had to take an alternative route home to be at a gass station in time. The gass prices here are awesome. In the netherlands you pay about 1,30 euros for a litre. Here, you get a gallon for 2,39 dollars and a gallon is almost 4 litres. Just when I started to feel proud that I seemed to be getting home quite easy with the alternative route I must have taken a wrong turn and ended up south of Lake Oswego, where I should have been north of it... But I never leave the house without a map here, so I managed to find my way home. With the lake in between my current and desired location I decided to take a look at it. Unfortunately I didn't bring my camera, but I found this picture on the internet that kind of resembles what I saw this morning at 7 am. Well lets have some breakfast and when traffic lies down a bit I will head up to campus to report at the international office and hopefully pick up the keys and security badge for the NSI.

I got an email of the repairshop that has my laptop this morning saying they ordered the new screen but it will probably take 6-8 weeks for it to arrive. Personally I think that's crazy, but hey, what can you do about it... So in total I will have to miss my laptop for about 3 months. There's a lesson in it here; always tape your laptop to the table, it will save you a lot of trouble...
