Week 35 Recap (May 7, 2010)
Thirty-six weeks! I'm in my ninth month of pregnancy now, and strangers are not shy about commenting on how pregnant I am (which I have no problem with--I think it's kind of cool!). Surprisingly, I ha...

Hoo boy, I've been quiet for too long! Here are a bunch of things I meant to mention at the time but never got around to writing about. Still to come: Ladies Rock Camp and our recent trip to Canada! ...

I'm back home and in a bad mood, as usual (compared to relaxing with Patrick in California, being back at MIT sucks every time). I didn't do much today, other than being sad that I had to leave Patri...
