no impact FAIL

just when i was beginning to think this whole thing was too easy (of course most of my food is local! of course i recycle more than i throw away!), yesterday turned into one of those days. and i broke every single rule of no impact week.

1. i completely forgot to bring my re-usable coffee mug. bought coffee and later, a water bottle (!).
2. yes, i drove to school. and i will probably drive again tomorrow. i have a MWF parking permit and it doubles my commute time to ride the shuttle (i do ride it on days that start with T though).
   
3. major lunch disaster (spilled a burrito all over my white shirt) resulted in two more violations. first, i tossed all the napkins i'd used to wipe up straight into the cafeteria garbage. then, i rushed off to the bookstore to buy a $10 UCSD logo tee. yeah, classy, i know. but i had to teach section after lunch and wanted to look decent... if not professional, clean.

today is turning into a fail too. i was supposed to "go off the grid"... heh. i did get to school on a bus powered by biodiesel, so that counts for something, right?
