update

It's been a hectic week.

This weekend was lots of fun. Went to several markets around the city, met a new intern, and saw some more sights.
Yesterday was my birthday! I am now officially twenty years old and the gang took me out to Indus Valley which is a terrific Indian food joint within walking distance of where I live. I got a delicious masala veggies dish with lots of chick pease and various other yummy things including cake and the whole works, so it was tons of fun.

I've come quite a ways at work as well. Yesterday took the better part of the day to put in my first slab of Allende into the microprobe. The unfortunate thing is that I kind of lack the self sufficiency needed to run the machine without assistance from my advisor. Again this is even more unfortunate because he's not very good at teaching things.. at least not the way that I like to learn them. I'll just have to deal with that, though. He's going out of town on Wednesday for the rest of the week so I'll have some time to fiddle around with it on my own. Hopefully. And I haven't been exploring much in the past week, so I must remedy that.

Kind of Kentuckysick today, missing everybody back home. At first I thought I would love to live here, but lately I am thinking two months is good and I'd like be able to see some horses again.
Well that's about it, just updating before I head into work in twenty minutes.
