Thursday was all set to be a study day at school - how convenient that half the roads to school were closed to block off a riot happening next door, in front of city hall. I sympathized from library while reading online that the protestors of the demolition of public housing were being tasered and pepper sprayed until I found this fun picture & caption:

Histology exam went fine Friday morning.  Cardiac muscle was on the practical portion, which threw most people for a loop (including me) since that was a block 1 subject.  Oh well.

Friday afternoon travel was a nightmare.  I rarely have travel troubles, but somehow my United flight to Los Angeles was delayed by four hours, so I would have missed my layover back to the Bay Area.  Every United flight was delayed and the line at the ticket counter was a mess, so I called the customer service line to get my flight changed.  Fortunately, the agent told me I could get on a 7pm flight to LAX and take a later flight into SFO and be home by midnight.  Unfortunately, 10 minutes later, I got a call from my dad because my flight had actually been rescheduled for Saturday night.  I ended up taking a couple of laps around MSY getting my flight rescheduled yet again   My original flight to LA was oversold so I couldn't get back on the plane, yet my baggage was checked for that flight.  I ended up getting a flight on another airline that actually got me home late Friday night. (Continental Airlines - left on time, flight wasn't even full.)  Note to self: no more traveling on United.  Poor Jenna's flight was canceled and she went back to her apartment and didn't fly out until Saturday.  Karen's flight to LA (same flight I was originally on) landed at the same time I arrived back in the bay.

On the bright side, streetcars are coming to my neighborhood!  Oh wait, that means my car will probably be hit by one.
