Week in Review: 9/9-9/16

A brief review of highlights from the past week:

• Ate dosas for the first time at an Indian Pastry House on the recommendation of my Sri Lankan classmate (www.indianpastryhouse.com)
• Relived a piece of my childhood by watching Dick Tracy
• Relived another piece of my childhood by re-discovering coconut cream pies (this time in Tastykake form)
• Attended a small neighborhood birthday gathering for one of Aubree's co-workers
• Completed the week's homework and readings in a timely manner
• Enjoyed phone conversations with my parents and grandparents
• Met the new neighbor who moved into our backyard...a 2 to 3-inch yellow garden spider (for examples, check out http://www.spiderroom.info/va_gardenspider.html and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argiope_aurantia... their webs are as intimidating as their size!)
• Started my class in Qualitative Analysis
• Learned that almonds are actually members of the peach family
