1. josh and i went to critical mass yesterday. there were literally thousands of cyclists and we took over the street and it was totally insane and so much fun. at one point i saw two cyclists with a stereo attached in the middle, blaring classical music. everyone went silent for a good minute to listen to it. eerie.
anyway, before the route got started, josh and i got our pictures taken for bike salute. there is a guy trying to get 1000 pictures of people with their bikes over their heads:
2. steven is such a good roommate. i have been craving sushi pretty much the entire month, but have been too broke to treat myself. steven decided to take me to coast, which is one of the better sushi places in chicago. it was just what i needed that day-- good company (steven, josh and i) and good sushi! i guess i sort of need that every day, but it seemed extra special last week when it happened. we went all out and here are some photos from our dinner:
3. we got a puppy!! well, it's steven's puppy, but since i live with him it's like it's mine. i was nervous at first to live with a dog. then i saw him, fell in love and all my worries went away.
4. classes have officially started. so far nothing seems too demanding.. it seems a lot like undergrad except more students pay attention. it's only the first week, so we'll see how long this phase lasts, but right now i'm pretty happy about the workload. still no word on my research gig, but time will also tell that story. i just get to wait it out.
