Preemptive ow.

So, I went climbing tonight, with a few other NVIDIA interns. I haven't been to an honset climbing gym in probably five years, and my upper-body strength is rather limited. It was also ridiculously crowded when we got there, but I snuck over to the boundering walls to see what I could do. And tomorrow, I will realize the problem with this.

The place is called Planet Granite, which cracks me up for reasons that nobody in the car understood. Thursday I'm going back to get my belay certification, then probably next week I'll get a two-month membership and start looking for shoes and a harness. If I can keep this up over the summer, I'll probably be better off; if I can keep it up in grad school, even better. And increased strength and flexibility certainly can't hurt.

Aww, lucky. I haven't yet found anyone who'll go climbing at Mudd over the summer.

I know Sandi's been doing some climbing. And what about Elaine?

Correction: He has found anyone who wants to bike the five miles there and back to go climbing over the summer.
