I can just see the EE geeks drooling now. What happens when you combine lasers and Spears: Britney Spears guide to Semiconductor Physics.
Thursday I went to the GSC Thanksgiving dinner at Wilbur. Most food I'd ever eaten at Wilbur... and definitely the most grad students I'd ever seen in one place. While it's a well known fact that free food is the most surefire way to lure grad students out of hiding, it's still impressive to see. The food itself wasn't bad, although the mood was definitely changed this year--they were carefully portioning out exactly three pieces of white meat to everyone.
Which was definitely made up for on Friday. Yune and I headed down (up?) to San Francisco for dinner in North Beach and improv on the bay. BATS is always fun, especially when they're facing off in teams. And San Francisco is not Palo Alto--at 11 PM, much to our joy, Ghiradelli Square was still open. Somehow Yune had lived in the Bay Area for three years and been to SF five times and still never experienced Ghiradelli, so naturally we rectified this.
On the Caltrain we ran into these people from Notre Dame who were so impressed and amazed by, well, the Caltrain. Apparently South Bend lacks major commuter transit. I felt so jaded. Of course, we were so impressed and amazed by a football team with a winning record...
