Mathapalooza--The Grand Finale

Sorry about no posts yesterday--nothing of much exciting blog import happened. Pretty much Nathan and I talked the entire day--about our futures and career possibilities and life in general. It's a really weird place to be at in life--to know that you are doing some things you are called to do (be married to each other) but not doing other things and not exactly knowing what else we are called to do in life.

Anyway, we decided to take pictures of expired elevator permits. True story--we haven't been in a San Diego elevator yet that has a current permit.

Here's the one from our hotel:
You can't see it, but it expired on December 12, 2006. Sketch.

Today was Nathan's big talk. I also had to go to the talks by Nathan's colleagues (on the same topic). And then Nathan made friends with another guy doing a knot talk so I went to **4** talks on knots today. Wow. I actually began to understand things by the end.

Anyway, here's a picture of Nathan and Sean preparing their talk:
We had a DELICIOUS lunch of pineapple wontons and pineapple sushi in-between all these talks. I know you all know how much I LOVE pineapple sushi...this entire restaurant was variations on pineapple sushi.

So...walking back from lunch we encountered a mathematician on a seugeway! Oh man! So awesome. Seugeways are hilarious.
So tonight we're packing and getting ready for a flight back to Raleigh tomorrow.

Oh, and for those of you playing along at home--WE GOT OUR VISAS!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, they are ready and being overnighted--thanks Mama!

GRE is Friday. Stay posted for how hard it was.
