Day 5: Lazy Daze

Second day at the A.M. and I am officially official! I got my security card which allows me through all the locked doors and a key to Dr. Mitchell's office. We spent most of the day tracking down all the right people to get me officially registered and running me through all the boring safety and protocol information. We took a long lunch break and went to a local sushi place to grab some cheap grub and headed back to his office to chow down and, for me, read some more on my kindle. After, we arranged everything to start research on the Monday which will begin with me photographing a bunch of specimen and following him through the barcoding process. By 3pm we decided to call it a day and I headed back to the hostel. After a bit chillin' in the air conditioned wonderfulness of the hostel I ventured out once again to find some suitable and cheap dinner. I ended up going to Insomnia Kebabs and Pizza to grab a couple slices. Now, I don't know what was different about this pizza as compared to the usual American pizza, but it was so good. There was so much more flavor and I could really taste all the different ingredients. I stopped by Maccy's on the walk back to grab some free internet and then went to the hostel for a nice relaxing night in. I read till I fell asleep (though I probably should have been packing), and I think the total books read since arriving is officially 3 1/2. Ridiculous what you can get done when you don't have anything to do, or anything that is due. So much free time!
