July 19

Today was my 23rd reaction that I've done now.  Things went well, and as far as I can tell, everything went as planned and with good yield.  We are starting to plan our stuff for Berlin and getting our trains and hostels picked.  At work I chatted with Nathan for a while which was wonderful, as well as Qi, who I had met in Munich and lives in Mainz.  She had some tips for Berlin, which was nice, and I also found out from Prof. DeRooy that the group had arrived in Berlin and has started classes.  However, one of the coolest things that happened today was that a podcast that I was listening to had Walter from Stargate as the guest.  As far as I am concerned, that is pretty much the coolest.
