Today I tried grocery shopping again... I decided to walk to the bus stop around 11:20 AM and the bus ended up arriving after 12:15 PM. It was packed! I was the last person to get, and I rode standing just before the steps and the front door. The bus driver was nice and introduced me to a fellow driver who was riding along to learn the route. They spoke Spanish and we had a nice long chat about Puerto Rico and the town I used to live, Lajas. It turned out his wife was from Lajas. Friendly Spanish was a nice smelly breeze inside the sweat smelling bus. It was PACKED!
I got off at Path-way or something, a super-market. Prices were OK, although I ended up paying more than $80 again. But this time I got the baking pan, a real frying pan and a measuring cup. I also got brownie mix, which I had craved during the week. After I finished shopping I waited the bus for another hour and met other graduate students. Sadly none were physics students but that is alright, I should not be an elitists. From the store up to getting to my apartment I met students from (gasp for air) Turkey, India, Israel and Poland (thinks there were not that many places... but continues typing). The bus was surprisingly empty when it came, but it got PACKED again on the next stop. We ended up waiting like five minutes until everybody settle down. It was nice to be back in my apartment.
Not much physics is going on now, but I am reading Feynman's paper on the path integral. Feynman was (and still is) just awesome.
