Traveling

I'm in a van with painfully slow internet (but woo hoo for a van with internet) on my way to university of florida (boo). Two hours worth of a trip... who wants to entertain me :)

Oh, background info... ok :)

I'm going to a school for a week called "Thermal Conductivity and Related Transport Properties of Oxides". I got little grant of the sort so that they paid for the travel. So I piggybacked two vacations, one to Orlando and one to Houston, so that my two seperate vacays will only be $100. So right now, I'm going to UofF from Orlando after this:

and went and got jamacian food and italian ice cream... three firsts!! (surfing, and two food items)

my eyes are super swolen from the salt water, sand, and sun though.

So as the sun sets in the West... MJ is delivered to a fate of endless oxides.

It's the price you pay for a free vacation. Take notes, impress others later.

Houston? You got Texas roots?

You're an engineer through and through. Oxides... psh. :lol:

Orlando is fun. When I was down there visiting a friend, she took me to a bar called Pretzles. It was nice. That's all I remember.

Have fun!

pretzles huh... I went to a few bars down town, don't remember going to that one. I did however go to a bar that was having a little music festival thing and it was a $10 cover which i thought was a little much, but we got inside and got our drinks and then FILTER came on stage... it was total luck, we had no clue filter was playing. It was sweet.

lucky you.... have fun take lots of pics and no shots of old dudes at the nude beaches....0002018E.gif

lol, no worries, I conveniently forgot my camera at home. :o I've been borrowing my orlando friend's cameras, and, gainesville doesn't seem to have any beaches, or much of anything else for that matter....

Did nobody notice she's sporting her Ohio Riders shirt???

That's freaking awesome.

So I'm threadjacking, I wear my OR shirt all the time though! That is one of the most comfortable T's I've owned in awhile.

Florida looks nice too...

i'm pretty sure this trip is going to result in long term emotional scarring.

I'm basically laying in bed, wadded in a ball shivering trying to keep warm...

had an interesting night tonight too that I think ross might tell ya about... :lol:
