Helpful Hints

Today's notes-to-self:

• You know the funky cool ramen that you bought at the local Pan-Asian grocery? Look a bit harder at the packaging next time. Because apparently, indicating that something is spicy (make that, really spicy) isn't as important as it is on American packaging.
• Taking a nap after getting home from an all-day conference is fine, but don't nap for an hour on the couch, wake up and decide that you're cold, and then crawl into bed, fully clothed, with your contact lenses still in. Waking up extremely groggy two and a half hours later, feeling like there is shredded glass in your eyes, and realizing that you'll never get to sleep tonight is not a good thing. Especially when you have an early morning class the next day.
