well, alex and iffy and leila have all left, and i’m back to readjusting to school life. (translation: i need to do homework, but i’m procrastinating.) anyway, it was nice having visitors. i love being here in california…there is so much to do, and the area is so beautiful and scenic that it’s impossible for anyone to be disappointed with their vacation here. 🙂
alex pointed out that i neglected to mention one of the fun parts of the baseball game yesterday–all the free stuff we got, including baseball cards, and a’s car flags. the car flags were especially exciting, as they gave us something to wave and cheer with during the game.
this morning as i was speeding down 101 taking alex and iffy to the airport, we saw a duck and about 8 ducklings in the middle of the road. i was completely distraught. can you imagine something more evil than some adorable ducklings getting run over by a speeding car? i mean, yes, you have to wonder what the duck was thinking trying to lead its flock across 5 lanes of southbound traffic, but still… alex and iffy whipped their heads around and fortunately, the ducks were able to waddle like hell and escape to the side of the road. crisis avered. whew.
ok. i really should go finish this homework assignment.

tonight we saw the stanford production of “the magic flute,” and i have to say, i was thoroughly impressed. the quality of the set, the orchestra, and especially the singing was just amazing. i could hardly believe i was listening to college students, and not a professional opera. perhaps the highest praise i can give the performance is to say that it made me want to see more operas. that is a feat indeed. bravo to all involved.
