I'm leaving for Argonne National Labs for a week long summer school/conference. I'll be back on Friday!

(Part 2 of 2: Read the post on last weekend first!)

So on Thursday, me, G, and Chireen spent the day out at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio (about a 2 hour drive from Ann Arbor). Cedar Point is America's second oldest amusement park, and it's the largest amusement park in the world, with 68 rides and like 16 roller coasters.

So on the 14th I had people over at my house and then went out to the Cavern Club afterwards. Note: Some of the pics I post are mine, and some are G's, that's why there's a difference in size and quality.

Here's the birthday cake G made me. It was strawberry flavored, and delicious! Thanks G!

But it's also so much fun.

They played a lot of 80's stuff, new alterna-rock, and random oldschool ( Read more... )

I don't really understand the natural cycles that your muscles go through. Two weeks ago, I went to go do squats, and I was struggling so bad, I felt like my legs were going to buckle at 285 lbs. Today I went in and totally crushed it. I felt godlike; I got 4 full repetitions at 365, by far my best lift ever. So why the huge difference? I don' ( Read more... )
