Lessons from this week

1) Go-go boys don't like it when people touch them without depositing a dollar

1b) Once a person deposits a dollar, it is considered impolite to retrieve the dollar

1c) 1b applies even if the person plans to re-deposit the dollar with the Go-go boy

2) If someone offers you directions in Spanish, and you don't understand Spanish, do not attempt to follow the directions

3) Don't wear flip flops in the rain. They will cause you to slip and fall once you are inside and people will laugh at you once they think you're out of earshot

4) Never enroll in a course whose title begins with "Advanced" unless someone asks you to

5) Toilets in the US are less hardy and dependable than toilets in SA

6) If someone smiles at you in the subway, they are probably about to sell you pirate DVDs (or bootleg liquor after 3am)

7) I hang with my girlfriends a lot so our cycles are beginning to sync and its no coincidence. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Menstrual-Cycles-That-Sync--A-Mystery-Unraveled/74758
