chocolate milk is an excellent sports drink

Ever since I read a book about the four R's of muscle recovery, I thought chocolate milk would make an excellent recovery drink.  Some of my teammates on the cycling team made fun of me, and the beverage was not at all portable, but it is an excellent choice, as evidenced by this new research: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/02/24/health/webmd/main1342839.shtml

I told you so. 

accepted to at least one graduate school

I got an early acceptance to Notre Dame for graduate school in physics.  Hopefully I'll have a few other schools to choose from.  Also now I don't have to go looking for jobs, since I'll have a place to go and support from that place.

20s party

so I went to a 20s party. It was quite fun. I bought a hat that looks weird and wore suspenders that pulled my pants up far too high. I asked to borrow some pants, but later decided changing was unnecessary. I ended up spending a lot of time with this girl. I don't think anything romantic was happening, but it was a fun time.

It's interesting to ponder my relationship with my friends and the various conversations they engaged in. For instance one friend with whom I have an especially antagonistic relationship. She regaled us with epic stories of her attempts to convert others over instant messenger, replete with hurry up moments. How telling.

I think I could learn a lot by observing the behavior of others, but its always easier said then done.
