Many things have happened in the last two days, which I should probably at least catalog for posterity. Tuesday night was the first night of the 50 Fathoms, and it rocked. My wussy little dolphin-boy managed to (somewhat unexpectedly) kill a monkape, which is like a 20-foot baboon. It was epic. Last night was the Meet the Profs networking event, which was a little disorganized (first year they've done it), but a good time anyway. Two of my current profs were there, as well as a few I sort of knew from other events. I kind of fangirled one of the Microbi researchers, who is totally awesome (and I'm not even that interested in her research, either! Neat stuff, but not my sort of neat stuff), and there was a lot of discussion about bioinformatics spawned by Yana's desire to minor in Math - apparently Perl is a great language for that stuff, as it handles strings really well.

I was supposed to work last night, but my walking partner never showed, so I got to go home and get paid for it anyway. So Yana and I decided to go wander around, as it was a beautiful night - we snuck into the Japanese garden, which is beautiful at night, then headed down to Wreck Beach and watched the lights of the city and ships and talked, before ending up in my room, where we watched some more Mushishi before calling it a night.

And I am made of win, because I have all my homework through Monday done! Yay!
