happy belated cinco de mayo all. i didn't get to wear a sombrero or anything but i did get to have people over to my house last night to celebrate. it was the first time i've had a group of non-german haus people over for socializing. i invited all of my housemates, and while not everyone came, i was happy that a good chunk of people hung out for awhile. it's always interesting to see what happens when you mix different groups of friends, and i think these groups meshed well. no one from either group however really seemed to know exactly what cinco de mayo is aside from a good excuse to eat tortilla chips and (for many) drink cervezas. on a sort of related note, i was told in the last month or so that at least one of the microbreweries we'll pass in colorado sells kegs of rootbeer. i am going to have to look into this.
phd comics had a great cartoon yesterday concerning what goals in grad school as one progresses through the years :http://www.phdcomics.com/comics.php?n=1012. I wonder what happens when a few months off to ride one's bike across the country. does the end result involve those extra years in grad school? or does one tend to change paths and do something completely different? or stay on the same course? i was looking at what courses i still have to take, and i think there's a possibility that i could be done with classes in the fall, which would be awesome. hopefully that will be hammered out before i leave...
