what a NICE day
Ok, so I tried the tanning thing for short time. I went for about 20 minutes after I arrived to the Transit Plaza bus stop. I could not hold my self of throwing myself in the grass after I saw so many people doing it.
I liked doing so, and so I am considering coming back in a while to the Quad to spend a longer while there just laying in the sun, listening to music, basically in my own world, after i type a while my factory farming paper.
Thanks God for days like this!!
Here are some pictures. Sorry, I shot them with my T-Mobile Sidekick's camera which is pretty bad
The U of I Quad facing the Illini Union building
Nop, I don't know him... he was just randomly there when I took the shot
The Quad facing the main library
Weather Today: Mostly sunny, with a high of 78 degrees Fahrenheit. Great day to tan

Winter is almost over
A Rant for my dear UPS
It happens a lot to me when i purchase, and so i have decided to quit on UPS, FedEx, and all private deliverers as they are all a bunch of good-for-nothing services. I will only use USPS unless there is no other option, because today with UPS was the drop to spill the glass
I bought something about a couple weeks ago, and after waiting and resigning to get a second attempt notice, I called to schedule a pick up. I do not have a car, so i fully rely on the public transportation that my city provides (buses) (which have a 5-star service, but regrettably offer LIMITED service to where UPS and FedEx are). I return today from college, and after planning earlier my trip schedule to their warehouse, I find a final attempt note. I call them (very disappointed)to see that those Good for Nothings did not comply with their promise of holding my pack. To the point, they tell me that they NEVER got the notice from their (useless) agent, so I schedule the pick up once more, and i get the call** [[(they say for URGENT cases they can take up to 1 HOUR to call back…) I wander what would happen if the medicine that can save your life is the package, (thanks God not my case, but you get the point i hope)]] **and they tell me that i have to pick up the package after 7 pm (when their facility closes at 6:30 and there are no more buses to the area after 6)
Finally I’m going to try picking it up tomorrow and if i fail, I guess I’ll post here again.
Final note: in my opinion, a company that size cant be handed to NEWBIES that barely got an undergrad degree in business
Think I'm the only one upset with them? Think again:
