The Pre-NREL Hype

Everyone at Sig Ep (where I'm living) has been super excited, as we start work tomorrow. More and more interns keep moving in, and we can already tell it's going to be great. As for me, I got up and read James, then ate at a Cafe in Downtown Golden with Daniela, since neither of us has any food yet. Then we drove to The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (partly to show Daniela what it looks like and partly for me to remember how to get there tomorrow). Unfortunately, I misread 11:05 as 11:45, so missed the church service I had been hoping to go to. On the way back, I found the School of Mines Physics department, which had a similar sounding builing name.

Myself, Daniela, Will, and Isaiah all went on the Mt. Galbraith loop trail, but not before eating tons of Chipotle (Daniela had not had Chipotle before, so that was clearly a must). With full bellies and happy hearts, we hiked up Mt. Galbraith, an approximately 4.5 mile round trip with 1000 feet of elevation change.

While there, we took lots of pictures, climbed trees, took little trails off into nowhere, stood majestically on out-jutting rocks, and got to know each other.

We went back, watched a movie, and went to bed tired but happy and ready for work the next day.
