Sooo. Guess what!! I converted a friend to start stretching with me!  The guy she’s been hanging out with does break dancing and I was just doing like handstands and trying some moves with him last night, and I think that got her into stretching!  She has a similar body style to mine and I think she can get pretty flexible if she just works at it!  This is so exciting!  I hope she sticks with it so that I can have a stretching partner!

Besides that…I have been learning Russian!  I really like it..it’s pretty different from English.  All the symbols represent sounds, and you just put the symbols together to make a word.  Of course there’s rules like with any other language, but it’s neat.  So far I can only say simple words like, ‘hello’, ‘goodbye’, ‘thank you’, etc.  I’m getting there!  I actually have better handwriting in Russian than in English…although it might be because I’m not used to it and want to write it correctly.

And…I just found an awesome job online today!  It’s a student assistant position at the Berkeley Lab!!!  I’d be assisting an O Chem postdoc researcher with his…research ahah.  It pays pretty good and the description says the schedule is flexible…I hope I get it!  It would look good on a resume as well.

Anyway that’s all I wanted to share for now.  Bye!
