so this past week i got to go to san diego for the biophysical society annual meeting! basically biophysicists from all over the world get together for a week and share what we're researching. it's one big party! here are the highlights:
*12 hour rides in the 12 passenger van: sleeping. listening to oldies. playing ticket to ride on jared's phone, being productive and doing homework on my laptop (on the way there, not so much on the ride home), texting lauryl even though she was only a few seats away, eating SNACKS, chatting about my project with dr bell, etc, etc.
*eating out a LOT: thai, italian (way fancier than anticipated. like the waiter put your napkin on your lap for you...good old juan), mexican, seafood (think salmon tacos and clam chowder..mmm), sketchy jack 'n the box in the sketchy part of town, etc.
*beautiful run in balboa park (jen i realized we never went again! my bad...sorry friend)
*THE BEACH. i love pondering life while listening to the waves and watching the sunset (yes waking up to a car covered in snow this morning was depressing)
*presenting my poster! had some great discussions about it with other people who care! so fun.
*fun to realize you remember people from past years! that's right...i'm a member of the biophysical society.
*once again helping to get the dance party started! this year i had a swing-dancing, cha-cha-ing friend. loved it!
*bike taxi. no words. this was the most hilarious night of my life.

*lauryl and i trying to out-laugh jared through the hotel walls.
*the great pillow caper that almost ended tragically.
*mike being late...always...
*being photographed at ghirardelli's for their ad compaign. watch for me on the side of a bus!
*watching chick flicks with jen...always a tradition.
*meeting friends from all over the world.
*networking for post-doc opportunities!
*saturating my brain with lots of science stuff!!!
most of these things probably aren't funny to anyone else, but at least i will enjoy reading it in the years to come :) i love what i do!!
