yesterday was busy. attended one (of two) lecture, and afterwards went to seven kings high school with Mrs. S from registry; they were running a small, universities fair for the kids in that area's enriched science/math program. afterwards they had a teacher from UCL who performed a chemistry show. i love chemistry shows. he had various balloons filled with either helium, hydrogen, or hydrogen + various salts. he held a match to each of them and they exploded with a huge bang, along with a flash of light in various colours, depending on what gas and what salt was in the balloon. it's funny how i knew what was coming (i.e. the bang), and yet still jumped when the balloon exploded.
afterwards i headed back to SOP, as someone i knew had her PhD viva (i.e. oral defense), and passed with flying colours. we headed to the bar to celebrate, then e and i went elsewhere for a cheap pizza and good conversation.
on tuesday night i had dinner with my mom's first cousin and her son down at new cross gate. my second cousin is an EXCELLENT cook, and it was great having a homemade chinese meal again, ahhh...she even gave me food that she cooked in advance and froze, so that i could take it back to the flat and defrost it and eat it whenever i want. two tupperwares full of lamb curry, and her own handmade fish balls. i am so lucky.
oops, they're closing the lab!
