Smack That

Will forgot to mention how we saw each other. We caught each other's eye across the gym as I walked in and we immediately sprinted towards each other. It all happened in slow motion and ended in Will giving me a giant sweaty bear hug. I didn't let go for a long time. It was pretty amazing.

Anyways, I would have posted earlier, but I was too lazy to register a Google account, which I just found out takes a total of 8 seconds. I guess old habits die hard.

I'm all settled here at Stanford for the summer (AGAIN) after a few great days at home and I'm already bored. I knew I would get to this point but I didn't think it would happen so soon. So my first morning here as I walked out the front door of Castano, half asleep in my typical morning routine, I was accosted by a cheery Asian kid who I immediately noticed was wearing a black purse as a backpack, one strap over each shoulder. And I'm almost positive it wasn't a man-purse. Hot. He asked me to prop the door for him so he could move in all of his stuff hassle-free. Being the friendly person that I am (ha), I spent the next five minutes dragging a heavy trash can to prop the door while he stood there, empty-handed I might add, watching me struggle. Needless to say I was pissed, and when he said "Thanks New Friend!," I just walked away looking disgusted. That pretty much sums up my experience in Castano so far.

I've also started working in the lab. My first day I spilled several pellets of NaOH while weighing them, and the lab tech with whom I was working got on her hands and knees in an attempt to find each fallen pellet (they're about 1 mm thick). I joined her on the floor for the next 15 minutes, especially after she explained that NaOH is flammable when it comes in contact with water. Unfortunately we didn't find any pellets. And as she searched for them, she knocked over a container of glass petri dishes under the desk, sending shattered glass everywhere. It caused quite a commotion and I'm pretty sure everyone else in the lab who came by thought I broke the glass. So all in all my first day was GREAT. Blah.

I miss you all SO MUCH.
