asterrocWell, as the subject says, I've decided to go with the car rental. It may cost more, but it's so much more convenient. (Makes me wonder about my committment to saving the environment if I'm willing to pay double for the privledge of dumping CO2 into the atmosphere. Hopefully I make up for it with other lifestyle choices.) I'm getting a pickup around 9am to get the car, I'll do whatever paperwork's necessary, drive to work to install shelving w/ R**, drive home to pack during dinner, and drive to my parents after dinner arriving late tonight. I'll return the car on Monday since they're not open late Sunday - or Sunday at all.
Hopefully on Monday I can just drive my car the short distance to my landlord's shop, get a loaner from him (he says he should have a Ford Escort), maybe drive it to Cambridge during the week, and get my car fixed in time to go to a wedding in Vermont for the weekend.
I'm looking forward to the reunion. It'll be fun to see some 'splodey-heads from my hair change. I hope they don't make me feel like an idiot for being booted out of grad school, I'm going to have to be careful on how I put it. Hopefully I can spin it as WOW! you're a tenure-track professor! Plus you're helping out people less privledged than we were, and sharing your love of knowledge with the world. *shrug* I think I'm worrying for nothing, but I keep thinking they'll all be Nobel Prize winners, and run multi-million dollar startups and have started free food and condom programs in South Africa... For my classmates, none of that is actually unreasonable.
