Lounge BBQ today, despite my confused pronouncement two days ago. I didn't stay very long, but I got my share of punishment me(a)ted out, as ssaiscps punned. Which is to say, andrew was there! and erin! and mike freaking shuresko! (though he claimed to be tobin and had neal fooled for a while) and mark stehlik!
After I went back to campus and hung out in the math/physics lounge and talked physics with this pretty freaking smart guy there named eric something who is going to princeton. I now know a tiny tiny bit more about the role of symmetry in physics.
