Holy new years

Hightlights of trip so far. And I just got here.

  • Working in lab is pretty cool. Lots of great equipment and all the chemicals we need to make new germylene ligands. The campus is beautiful.
  • Apartment is a total dump, but is centrally located. Bus stop across street. Campus 2 blocks away. Am on 26th floor which= awesome view of city.
  • Don't have any money, so have been going to Whole foods every day to eat free samples. You can actually fill up quite nicely on said samples. I love you Whole Foods.
  • Love the downtown. Many cool bars and such. Have seen lots of music already.
  • Lots of cool kids. Met group of punks last nite to ring the new year in with. One kept talking about his pierced cock. He finally dropped his pants to show us. He had giant rooster tattoo with spear through its neck. Hhahhaa. pierced cock.
  • Excellent bus system. Except for last nite. Took 3 hours to get home cuz we took wrong bus. Our fault. Were drunk. Ended up in very sketchy area for a very long time not knowing there wasn't another bus coming. A nice man finally rescued us. Took us to a different stop, gave us bus fare (we spent all money on drinks), waited with us until bus came (over an hour later) and told driver to take care of us. Which he did. I now have ticket that is good through 3am tonight. (or tomorrow if you're gonna get all technical.)

Okay, I am going to go take nap. Hope the boy calls later. I def drunk dialed him, and he prob is thinking i am total wingnut for ending up the situation i was in. Oh well. It was new years. Hope you all had a good one as well.

Love KAT!

you should look for gallery openings too. They always have free food and wine. :)

The school doesn't feed you while you are there?

kat said...

Sucks to have no money. When I lived in Idaho we were so broke we had to steal our dinners. and i've done the whole chew and screw before too. Not proud of it but hey a person's got to eat.
