Greetings from Middletown, Connecticut!

Today is my day off...and what a day it has been. I had a phenomenal weekend at the UConn chapter this weekend and I left there last night. I headed to a hotel outside of Boston because I was scheduled to attend a Boston University class today for a class visit. I stayed about 20 miles from BU. I left an hour and fifteen minutes before the class....giving me plenty of time to make it to BU. However, I got stuck in a traffic jam and missed the start of the class. They will not let visitors go into classes after they have begun--which I completely understand. So my visit to Boston was deemed worthless. I then decided that I would drive down to Middletown and do some work on my essays. I again got stuck in traffic--this time in the middle of Connecticut. That was another two hour debacle. When I got to Middletown, I found out the town has literally no coffee shops or places to get internet, so I traveled 20 miles away...where I am now. Let me note: It is now 5pm. Can I tell you what a waste of a day it has been. And the sad thing is that I'm exhausted.

I'm in town visiting the Wesleyan chapter and it has been over a year since I have been here. The only chapter that has not seen a visit by me in over a year--possibly for good reasons. I stopped by the chapter house and of course no one was home. I'm staying with a University of Connecticut graduate who lives close by. After Wesleyan, I will be visiting Yale on Friday/Saturday. Another bright star in Betas broad domain (insert sarcastic tone here). This will be a challenging week. If I can get to Friday I will be good!

Anyways, I'm going to try and be productive for a few hours to make up for today's lack of productivity.
