Greetings friends! I am still in San Fran, sitting on the 17th floor of the Credit Suisse office, using a computer ! the reason is that I stayed last night with family friends who live over the Bay Bridge and who get to work at 5 am. so instead of dealing with public transportation I woke up at 4:30-I'm used to it by now- and got a ride in with ( Read more... )

pictures are up on the website. the method for doing so sucks quite frankly. so that's why it's been so long; and there are way more to come. also, I sent some people invitations to my snapfish account, which has about 200 pics, so you can try to ask me, but idk when I will have internet next or just ask someone-like Robyn to maybe send the link.

Just want to let "y'all" know I'm alive. No I haven't begun to said y'all, but I've decided not to resist it. I'm in Floyd, VA right now and the sun is finally out. It was pretty cool all day so I got to whip out my fancy arm warmers. My knee is killing me, but I made the huge climb, which pretty much lasted the 9 miles until lunch. Time to go ( Read more... )

When we finally left, we got out of DC and then had a police ( Read more... )

Today is the official start of the trip. We're headed through DC today! woohoo. We rode about 16 miles yesterday to dip our wheels into the bay. It was so ( Read more... )

I am sitting in the west fourth computer lab. It feels so weird. I bet it sounds kind of weird too. I decided to come visit the city. So I'm staying with Tammy again-isn't she awesome? Robyn came with me and we're about to head up to the Met. I just had to print my "Sweat Equity" Form, which I forgot to get signed when I volunteered for Habitat and ( Read more... )

Yesterday I worked from 8:30 to 11, then headed to the lab-I finally started the research project. I was there until around 5, when I headed to Rubin, microwaved some pasta, and watched tv. I had to head back to the lab to finish the protocol we were working on because we had to wait for it to incubate. That was around 7. I got out around 7:45 and ( Read more... )
