Sorry I haven't posted in a while, here's a life summary since the last one. Classes started on Tuesday and it was actually kind of a tough week. My classes are Physical Oceanography, How to Give a Seminar, Marine Microbial Diversity and German 101. German was by far the hardest class to make it through this week. Not that I don't love it, we've just had tons of work. Hmm, let's see...made another friend, Matt, another new marine sciences student. We've decided to start a band. I think we will be ridiculously amazing. Among the many instruments in his multi-instrumentalist suitcase lies a xaphoon, which is a small Hawaiian bamboo saxophone. Friday night we went out for drinks with people from the marine sciences dept and then with the art history dept. Crazy night. I slept all day Saturday. Today = homework, coffee shop, new printer, doritos, now. Aaaaannnnnd we're up to speed.
Story: Friday afternoon I was at home alone and a knock came to the door. By the way, I live in a teeny tiny suburb like neighborhood in a not-many-suburbs town, found the house on craigslist, had no idea. So I opened the door and there was Barbara, the middle-aged suburban mom that lives behind me. She said, "Hi. I'm Barbara, I live behind you. Do you know anything about computers?" I said, "Sometimes, what's this dog's name?" And Tashi, Barbara and I were off, headed to her house to solve a downloading problem. We figured it out. I met her kids, they were cool. End of story. Ha! I bet you thought there was a point! Nope, not really!

thanks luke, you are magical.
I love that story, Luke, pointlessness included.
Hey, Luke. Hope your classes go well. German? Is that related to your science work or are you just picking it up in addition?
German isn't directly related to my work but it could be useful. My adviser is German, a PhD student in our lab is German, and we are very closely tied to the Max Planck Institute in Germany (where I'll probably go one day). Plus I've always wanted to learn it and my sis-in-law is Austrian.
