Here are a few other pictures that I've taken so far. Last weekend I did a 5k in Denver with my roomate and some girls from my class and it was a lot of fun! All of the women wore skirts and we got a 3 minute head start from the guys. There were 800 entrants, 600 women in total. I've never run a race like that but I'd like to do more. I think I'm finally adjusted to the altitude which is exciting. Running the first few weeks was really rough. I came in 94th/609 women and 8th/55 for the 20-24 age class. Not my best time but it was super fun. I've also started playing in a fall ultimate frisbee league and had my first game last weekend. We play every sunday until November and there are tons of teams. Its fairly competitive but I enjoyed my first game.
This week my work started to really pick up. I had a quiz in one class on half the textbook...which seemed a little ridiculous considering it was week 3 but it went alright. I also worked in the lab every day this week. I've mostly just been observing people and trying to learn a bunch of new methods and techniques. Nothing I can't handle so far. I'm really glad its the weekend though. I decided to celebrate the end of the week with a nice friday afternoon hike. Its amazing here that I can ride my bike a few miles from my house and hike up a mountain...I love it! So I went up this local mountain and it had a beautiful view of all of Boulder and you could see Denver off in the distance. As I was hiking up you could see a rainstorm approaching the mountains...it was really pretty. And on my way down I looked up after not paying much attention to notice a whole family of deer hiding int he grass. They didnt seem too shy and there was a cute baby one.
Anyways hope everyone else is doing well! I'd like to hear updates about your lives as well!
