Weekend

Gosh, textbooks are expensive. I bought enough of them today to fill a library and that was only for two of my five papers! I am feeling very overwhelmed at the moment, because Massey told me to take a minimum of 16 units (which is four more than recommended) and then the American army...

End of the First Week (Almost)

It has been another two days since my last post, and so much has happened that I can't possibly tell you everything. I'll try to keep the interesting stuff, but I'll probably ramble, so stick with me and I'll ty to be brief. The Cal Berkeley library is magnificent. It's all gleaming marble...

Astronaut Training Experience (ATX)

On Thursday the 23rd I participated in an astronaut training experience at KSC. It gives you a little closer look at some aspects of astronaut training. But being a one day program it only touches on a few aspects and even so only scratches the surface. Here is a photo of the training room...

Kennedy Space Centre

We had a really exciting day at Kennedy Space Centre. The Shuttle Endeavour landed on that day at 12:30. We stood outside when it was due to land to see if we could see it, but unfortunately it landed north-south and came in really fast so you couldn't see it from the visitor's...

Do we get a Lollipop?

On August 11th, we tore ourselves out of bed and drove to Watsonville to meet Dr. Dover for our travel vaccinations consultation. After reviewing pages and pages of dizzing information about side effects, we decided to take the plunge. Luckily, neither Tim nor I are afraid of needles... and his...

First Days at Berkeley

It has been two days since my last post, and I am still not fully onto American time. This is probably due to the (relatively) long day (the sun sets at 8 o clock) and my body is used to the sun setting at about 5. I love America. This place is awesome. I live in a hostel with about 50 other...

Orlando
