misty

The weather (do I talk about this too much?) had been nice for three days, so it was about time that we had some clouds and rain today.

Cristiana is gone :( she is traveling with her husband right now, and she will be back in about a week. Here are some photos from our last cooking fest:

She made one of her pies...it was gone the next day...

And I made pitas! they turned out really well

Today, I did a lot of work to prepare for tomorrow because I AM DOING A TRIAL RUN!! Wooohooo finally getting it going! After many emails back and forth, I have a subset of 8 points to visit tomorrow. Only 3 of them are tagged and flagged, so tomorrow is sure to be a long long day because I have to do a lot of extra work! And about half of the points are ones that I have never been to, so I should have a lot of fun finding those... But it's a trial run so it's ok.

Today, as I got ready to go on a run, it started raining...but the mist after the rain was nice:

This is the first photo I have taken of the headquarters. You can see Roswell Ridge (left) and Rainbow (right) dorms.

Rough-skinned newt!

I almost forgot!! A bunch of new people arrived at the Andrews! They are loud, and I haven't met any of them yet. ALSO, I have a new apartment-mate: Anna. She is from Latvia, and I'm not sure why she's here, but she's only here for 3 (!) days. She made a fishy (literally and figuratively) smelling soup. She also started complaining about the weather and the lack of storage space in the kitchen the moment she got here. More on this later...
