"I'll nanofabricate you!" - ???

I got up early this morning to catch the shuttle that goes from the Hershey to State College, aka the medical campus to the main campus. We were going to a cell culture workshop because I'll begin working with cell cultures later this week to create a sample to do some in vitro testing. Josh & I both made the four hour round trip, and with the shuttle times we had plenty of time to check out the Penn State Campus. He's a newish Penn State student, after transferrring from Virginia Tech this past semester, so the campus is pretty new to him too. For lunch we checked out this little Cajun place called Spatz, which was really good. We got teased about it when we got back to campus because they say that that's where all the professors eat, but hey, we didn't know that. We have a few more workshops in the next few weeks, but hopefully we won't have to go up to State College too many more times after that. It really ends up being an all day thing, and I barely had time to get out on my bike by the time we got back home. The riding's so different here that it's been interesting trying to adjust. My heartrate just won't go as high and I never really breathe hard, but I'm still working hard. It is really cool to have a whole new area to explore, and between that and sitting in a lab all day, it's not hard to motivate myself to get out when I'm done with work.
