Screw Sam
So my weekend was interesting. Friday I go up to Rochester with Mike. When we get there we eat and then get beer for Beirut. We play a few games at Anthony's, Mike and I versus Anthony and his girlfriend Tori. After that we head to the track house to meet Craig. As soon as we get there all the track people leave, which kind of sucked. We got ( Read more... ) -
Stupid Requirements
I don't like having to write a research report, especially when it seems like things are not working. I had hope that the project would be semi-successful when I managed to couple light from a helium-neon laser into the waveguide. The HeNe laser is only used for alignment, the real test is to couple IR light into the waveguide. Unfortunately, ( Read more... ) -
Wasabi Peanuts
It feels weird that it is almost the end of July. Home was fun this past weekend. I always enjoy being back in Elmira for a few days, it tends to be a good quiet break. I also found out that I am going to go to a family reunion the weekend after I get back. It is around Philadelphia, I kind of hope I will get a chance to see Phillie. When I ( Read more... ) -

I'm Proud of Myself
Okay, Saturday has nothing to do with being proud of myself, but I'll start there anyways. We went to Niagara Falls on Saturday. It was pretty fun, minus the Hard Rock Cafe in Canada experience. The Hershey store was really cool. Probably the best part about the Canadian side was walking up to the side of Horseshoe falls. Just being able to ( Read more... ) -
Short One
Haven't said much in a few days, and I won't say much here. Just wanted to say that I'm really excited for the triathlon tomorrow. I feel I should be able to do well (my goal is under 1:30) despite getting sick. I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow. There might even be a picture. -
Fantastic Four
Yeah, I went to see the Fantastic Four today and no I am not ashamed of that. I liked it, however, if they make a sequel there is no way that I will go and see it! So yesterday I actually made it to New York! It was fun, even though I mostly just wondered around. First I had lunch at an awesome pizza place. Next I walked up to Central Park and ( Read more... ) -
My Fourth Weekend
My weekend at home was pretty quiet, but fun. I went home Friday night and enjoyed the quiet. Saturday was fun as well, I spent more time enjoying home. On Saturday night I went and saw Jeff play in the band he is a part of, the Buncha Savages. On Sunday I spent most of the day with Emily in Watkins Glen, which was fun. It involved swimming, ( Read more... ) -
Going Home Today!!
I'm going home today! I am rather excited about that if you couldn't tell. I always like going home, although the amount I enjoy going home depends on the time of the year. By far my favorite time to go home is in late fall. The months of October and November, especially Thanksgiving. There is something about walking in from a brisk 50 degree ( Read more... ) -
Lightning is Cool!
So after being really humid for a while it finally decided to actually rain for a change, and it a rain with lightning, which is really frickin cool! My parents and my sister are going to be in Ithaca around 5 to drop of the car for service, so they are going to stop by so that I can see them. After that I'm going to the free dinner for the REU- ( Read more... )
