Some of you may be wondering why I have been a) posting so infrequently, b) never online, or c) MIA. Well, I am alive and well, still without entirely reliable internet, but that should be soon. I hope. Apparently it was way worse last year. I would have hated to have been those people.
So, what might I be doing without facebook to eat up my life?? All sorts of things! Since my last post, I have:
1. gone to Trader Joe's. Best grocery store ever. I now understand why everyone loves it so much. We need one in Syracuse.
2. eaten my first fried oreo, and then my second. It was super tasty! I can't wait to get some at my first trip to the fair this fall. (Yes, I am going to be a senior at Le Moyne and I have never been to the fair.)
3. learned a really awesome Russian card game, Durak. I was going out first for a while when I really didn't understand the game. Then I figured out why I was doing so well, and sort of maintained it. Beginner's Luck I suppose...
4. went to church at St. Paul's, right near my dorm and met a couple summer programmers at Harvard that are not in REU, but are from Harvard. We talked about the possibilities of playing life size chess in our sadly unfurnished common room.
5. and most importantly, I did real science! We got our experiment to work, which means that I made gold wires that conduct electricity! :-) It was amazing.
I've been up to quite a bit; what about you all? Leave me a post about whatever you're up to, or an email. I can't wait to hear all about it!
Currently reading: One Big Damn Puzzler by John Harding. It's taking a long time because my free time allotment is rather low. Since I am doing all of these other fun things.
