Was SO good. I needed to be rolled home though! Ohhhh grad school related news! 2 POIs emailed me today!! One to finally schedule my skype interview (I've known about it since before Xmas but no date so far) and the other to feedback on my fellowship statement! YAY progress That sounds delicious!

It's been encouraging to watch your admissions cyle! I would but I have class in 8 minutes. Sitting still has never been so difficult Yeah, I seriously can't believe it. I had a really shoddy subject GRE score and I come from a school that is not even ranked in the top 300 for physics. I have no idea how this is happening right now - I feel like I'll wake up from this dream soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sending positive-programme-related-vibes your way Hahaha it is a ball of soft cheese in which you dip pretzels, bread, crackers, or chips (crisps... Heck, I'd dip fries in it too though. I don't discriminate). It often has a crispy coating made of like thinly sliced almonds or something. The cheeseball I made was a blend of cream cheese, butter, and a spice mix packet. So it's more like cream cheese, but it tastes great, and I don't even like cream cheese! And thank you so much! Ah! I can't wait to hear some nugget of news.

Unfortunately, bacon is different in the US. So, you can still do that, but it might be a slightly different experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a pretty big fan of tea myself, and I generally get mine from specialized online stores (most of whom import their tea in from somewhere or another). If you just want some earl grey or the like, you can find some okay packaged brands, but if you want more specialized oolongs, darjeelings, greens, and the like, you have to get them loose. I'm not sure what type of tea you drink, but if you drink it unbranded and loose, by variety or type only, I can probably offer suggestions of some decent online stores.

hippyscientist Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Ahh @Neist I may take you up on that! My main issue is my bog standard Yorkshire Breakfast Tea. It will be sent over as we can bulk buy it in Costco and shipping will still be cheaper than buying online (yep I've researched this). As for the earl greys, darjeelings etc., I'm sure it will depend exactly where I end up going but I will always remain open to good tea dealers On a note slightly more related, I made a hot toddy this evening and I forgot how amazing they are!

Boulder is a pretty cool place, if I do say so myself I concur! I spent the summer there for an REU program... I fell in love with it. Seriously I couldn't be happier right now... and my professor was even okay with me squealing and running out of the room as soon as I saw the subject line of the email Any suggestions for finding housing? I'm not a roommate person so it seems I'll be living on some corner of Pearl St shaking cans for spare quarters...

GinGin, it's whisky (no e), honey, lemon, fresh ginger and boiling water. It's amazing if you have a sore throat, or just want a comforting hot drink. Definitely recommend!
