Ten gadzillion years later...

Hallooo!! Long time no post! Seriuosly! Ha. I thought I had beaten the system and loaded these pictures in backwards chronological order so that they would load in the order I wanted them to. Apparently, however, blogger is smarter than I am and therefore these pictures are in backwards chronological order. Not that it really matters.

Ok, to start with, this is my Easter cactus:
I bought it at Prime Outlets on the way back from my research cruise in Lewes, DE. It was maaad fun, and this flower is madd gorgeous. The picture here doesn't give it full credit. Today it bloomed with almost all of its flowers wiiiiide open. Beautiful!

The following picture is from the CSA volleyball tournament. Yeah Black Sheep! Too bad we lost in the semi's. And we don't have a full team picture. Lots of random pictures though. And definitely a picture of the three hotties on the team (uhh, not that the guys weren't hot... temperature-wise...). Well, from L-->R: Debby, Caitlin, Me

Ah yes! The CSA tournament was also the first time my brother and I have really competed on the same team since Chinese School! Here I am, beating him up. Notice the stormtroopers on my back and the Yoda on his shirt front. Yes. We were meant to hate one another. Just kidding! We get along famously, and we managed to pull off some back ones (I learned how to scratch the back of my head... hehe)

Doesn't he look happy, now?

Aah, TASA Night market! I don't actually have any great photos from the event... Just a few before and after pics. Here is after the event, with me and Viv and Shannon's hand... Scary, en't it now? But it was a ton of fun, even if I was DEAD tired. I had gotten up early that morning (6 am) for a bagel breakfast with the roomies, and I basically was dying since then...


And here are all the officers plus one alum (can you find him? ^_~)
L-->R: (top) Wayne, Judy, PeiShan, Lily, Kevin, Tony
(bottom) Tara, Vivian, Karen, J, Sam, Shannon, Me, and Tiffany
(missing) Kelly, Alex, Joyce, Yunnice, Mike

More pictures of the cruise!! Hurraaahh....

Louisa and me... Poor girl's experiment had to get scrapped because she was using C^13, and Jim kind of freaked on us. What an insanely paranoid man. Oh well.

Me looking like a scrub on deck... I felt like I was in the Truman Show and that any second, I'd bump into a well-painted wall. Wouldn't that be FREAKY? Hahaha~

Our cute little boat! Also known as the Hugh R. Sharp. I was relatively good at adapting and getting my sea legs. I did get a bit seasick on Sunday because the waves were relatively big. I'm glad we weren't on the Henlopen though. It was apparently much smaller and much less stable. On this boat, we would wake up in the morning wondering if the ship was moving. Hehe.

The hallway near my cabin. I just thought the pink looked cool.

All in all, the cruise was quite excellent, although perhaps not what people were expecting me to be on (what? you're not going to the Bahamas or Carribean? Then WHERE are you going?)... My boss told me to say "Yes, we were going to the Bahamas... we just... didn't make it all the way there and back..." Hahaha...

Ok. Enough pictures for today? Perhaps I'll post more after my interview today.
