Day 8, a whole lot late.
Jun. 10th, 2014 01:12 am:::ETA::: This post was written on June 9th, but due to the marvels of travel and different time zones, I am posting it and the next entry on the 10th.
Thanks to the miracle of modern technology, I am writing this from the plane. You have to admire human ingenuity, that means that I have the means not only to move hundreds of kilometers inside a matter of an hour or so, but that it's barely an inconvenience to do so. I am thousands of feet above the ground, but I'm seated as though I'm in a movie theatre and supplied with pretzels and a soft drink and have my laptop out in front of me like it's absolutely nothing. In less than an hour I will be in a completely different city, and will likely have internet access again without having to think about it too hard.
(I can feel the tray bouncing as I type, even though I'm being careful. I'm a little worried I must be irritating the poor lady sitting in front of me. Hopefully she'll let me know if that's the case. )
Still, isn't it incredible? I know that on many flights in the U.S. they even have wifi available on board. It's not the case with this flight, but we've basically reached the point where air travel is as mundane (though not nearly as cheap) as driving or taking the train or the bus.
Anyway, on with today's (or, actually, yesterday's) post! t! has asked me to write about who my role models are, and though he didn't specify, I assume he wanted me to go into the reasons for which I picked these role models.
( Just what sort of role model are you? )
