Bryan and the surf. - CS session 2
All the teachers now in class. During the morning when we're not teaching and all afternoon, we teachers become students again. Usually pretty bad ones. There's this decompressing period after you walk out of the classroom during which we are, for all intents and purposes, 13 years old ourselves. - CS session 3
Lots of group work. Lots of posters. - CS session
Again. - Friday afternoon 2
Relaxing in the grass on campus for a few minutes, after a loooong week. - Friday afternoon 3
Until the TFA staff has something else fairly ridiculous for us to do. - Friday afternoon
Friday afternoon - Leslie and Bryan cook
They miss the kitchen! With one set of camp silverware and one set of camp pans, Leslie and Bryan valiantly attempt a meal in Leslie's pittance of a kitchen. It turns out marvelously. Mom's spaghetti sauce--always the inaugural meal. - Leslie the ocean
This weekend, Bryan comes! We go to the beach. - Sand castle begins
Sand castle begins - Sand castle finished
We decided our sand castle would incorporate several civilizations. A Norman castle keep, an Egyptian pyramid, a Sumerian and/or Mayan ziggurat, and the Great Wall of China. We are HUGE nerds. - Sand castle planned
Sand castle, planned - Team building 2
My view, from the back of the line. - Team building 3
Another group - Team building
Team-building! Whee! We get unnecessarily close with our CMA groups trying to make our way across the grass on posterboard lily-pads. - IMG 3064
At about 5:45, I'm on the road about to cross the Dunbar bridge over the bay. - IMG 3067
A view of Mt. Shasta from I-5 - IMG 3071
I know what you're thinking. Driving at 75mph and taking pictures of your odometer are mutually exclusive activities. But it was a *really* long drive, and maybe after 8 hours I was getting overconfident. - IMG 3073
Just as I got into the Seattle area, it started to rain on me... It was as though Seattle had prepared a special welcome just for me. - IMG 3074
The Commodore-Duchess apartment building. It's literally right across the street from UW proper. UT folks, imagine living at 26th and Wichita. The location is killer, all the bills are paid, but it is a little bit small. I'm sure I'll get used to it. - IMG 3075
Here are some random shots I took while wandering around campus. This is on the main pavilion; the foreground is occupied by a statue of UW's namesake. - IMG 3076
Another of the big plaza. The neat-o gothic building on the left is one of the many gigantic libraries here on campus. - IMG 3077
A view into the main quad from the west. - IMG 3078
Another pretty gothic building that I don't know the name of. This one makes up the south side of the main quad. The trees and architecture are gorgeous. I almost feel like I'm cheating on UT for loving it so much, but the spaces are just so much more open (you're not always crammed between two five story buildings). - IMG 3079
Another shot of the main quad, from the inside. - IMG 3081
South of the central plaza is the beautiful Drumheller fountain. - IMG 3082
Another shot of the fountain with the Bagley building (chemistry, i think) on the right.
