busy again
ok its been a busy few days. on Thursday we went as a class to see John Roberts, well we had been lead to believe that it would be like a small group Q&A kinda thing so everyone was super pumped, however it turned out to be a lecture series that he had already been giving for days to the Penn kids and we just got to sit in on that, and to make it worse no one got any pictures with him because he was whisked away at the end of the class....damn it.....but it was still cool to see him speak and stuff. On Friday a group went to Bratislava.....let me save you the trouble and tell you dont go!, let me sum up Bratislava for you with one story, on the way back to the train station when i was classing the car door i ripped the door handle and other various door parts off the door, the driver was like "thanks, not ok, thanks" basically the trip in a nut shell, its totally a soviet block that is still coming out of all that and its very small and there are only a few things to see....its also pretty dirty and nasty.....food was good though! and there is a good exchange rate, 24 SK to a US dollar! weeee monopoly money, its fun to pay with 1000 dollar bills, I will put some of the pictures up later on.

Granted, I was not planning on going to Bratislava, but now I know that I definitely don't want to go there.
Too bad about John Roberts, sounds like they totally led you on about what was going to happen. Cool to be able to see him lecture though. I know a friend who would have died for that chance. She thinks he's incredibly hot.
Now that you said that...I am definitely going. I'm looking for the dog with a human hand in it's mouth. Just got back from Vegas. I actually won something. My soul back, its crazy.
Hey Jarrad!
Just got the link to your blog from Stephen.
Took a while to read all your posts... very cool, awesome pictures, what an amazing place.
So, people not so cool, huh? that's interesting.
We'll be checking your posts!
Take care,
Claudia
