Girls and Women in Science was pretty good. We had 25 girls on campus, as well as their teachers and parents. I spent most of Friday giving tours to the girls and then setting up for
dinner and their night at the sports center. I then went to dinner with them, and later hung out with their parents and teachers. I got off by 9:00 pm ( i was not staying with them in the sports center, thank god) and hung out with one of my friends here. we went to a Voodoo Barbie performance (part I of II, after this performance they stayed up for a full 24 hours and only hung out with each other, then did a show Saturday night.) we then played monopoly until 3:00 in the morning!!!Saturday I had to get up at 7:30 am to set up things in the science building. I dont think i have ever been up that early on a sunday, or at least do it very rarely. campus is pretty dead at that time. The rest of the day was crazy, running around Chamberlin putting up signs for labs, making sure everything was running smoothly, and setting things up for later. When the last girl finally left at 4:00 i was pretty excited.
Sunday was international dinner, and since I coordinated the food it was another crazy day.
people were coming in and out of commons all day preparing their dishes, and I got to watch as each mouthwatering dish was being set up. i think my favorite dish was this curry made by a girl from Malaysia...it was nice to have some SPICE!!!! there were also some amazing prefomrences. This one guy sang some Turkish songs; he had a good voice and they were so haunting! One of my really good friends (and the person I will be renting an apartment with in Chicago this summer) did a traditional Sri Lankan dance.My Prozac synthesis is going well (i think), and the finished product should be done after lab on Tuesday....we shall see how it turns out.
now I am going to listen to the song "mad world" for a bit ( i got two versians of it this week...i LOVE this song)
