Watch as Priscilla RACES AGAINST THE CLOCK! The rat walk cycle is completely done, and I'm a little more than halfway through with the rendering the final scene of "Little Old Lady Land". It's split up over 12 computers. :D Will I make my 4:00 flight? Not a chance in hell. But still I race!

And come to think of it, I haven't eaten yet today. Stupid biological necessities.

Can it happen before 4PM?
-- Finish the Maya render: 1 hr? (If I take over the Mac lab downstairs and the computers in Meyerson, this can be significantly diminished?)
-- Render the full movie in AfterEffects: 1 hr
-- While rendering in AE, run to bookstore, resell textbooks and buy blank CD, then return rogue library book: 0 min
-- Burn everything to CD, turn in to professor's mailbox: <10 min
-- Return to room (10 min), grab all bags, hobble to the street, and flag a cab (10-15 min)
-- Go to airport (20-30 min)
-- Be there at least 30 minutes in advance.

Time it would have to be right now in order to be able to make my flight: About 12:40.
Time it is now: 2:20.

This is why one must NEVER SLEEP. If I'd managed to miraculously pull off another all-nighter, I'd be going home today. But no, I am weak. I intended to take a one-hour nap, but I didn't hear my alarm, and the "nap" ended up being four hours. I just called my mom, who is now changing my airline reservation for me to a 6AM flight tomorrow morning, as there are no later flights today. This will be interesting, as both my alarm clocks are now in storage, as are my sheets and pillow. Maybe someone will lend me a towel. Good thing I hadn't checked out of my room yet. And at least with a 6AM flight, I'll still be able to be on time for any Mother's Day festivities that I may have accidentally mentioned to said mother in said phone conversation, that she may or may not have been supposed to know about. Um... at least I'll actually have time to find a card now!

And now I'm off, in a valiant quest for food!
