Climbing, burgers and cocktails

About 10 of us from school went to the local climbing gym today: Tim, Natasha, Rachel, Devon, Aruna, Caroline, Illana, Aaron, Jake and me. It's been about a year since the last time I went. And I feel super weak in my arms. The routes seem comparably rated to the ones back in SF at Mission Cliffs gym. I had trouble climbing a 5.9... that is how badly out of shape I am. :( boo!! After a few hours of hanging out at the gym, we went to Old Town Alexandria for burgers. I wonder how much longer before I know everyone in my class, because I can't believe I'm still meeting more and more people!

Last night, a bunch of people came over to my place for cocktails. It was largely an experiment to determine just how many people my little apartment can accomodate. I think there were about 20 of us: Tim, Wait, Jon, Laura, Jake, Marc, Hayley, Bahar, Mike, Rachel K, Kirsten R, Haylene, Alexandra, Tatyana, Tatyana's friend, Ed, Zoya, Rachel V, Chris and me. The only time it seemed crowded was when everyone was seated, except for one person. Then when more people showed up and we had to squeeze to get by, it wasn't crowded anymore. Funny how that works! There really must be some sort of party algorithm for this sort of thing! Maybe Kirsten or Caroline know... they're the math whizzes in my life.
