Note
(rest day)
Had an IUD fitted on Friday. Not the most pleasant twenty minutes I've ever spent with a nurse but not as bad as I was anticipating either. No rigorous activity for three days - got some exciting cramps running down a bank at Mohawk mountain yesterday but nothing today despite many gardening. Hopefully it's going to take okay! Went out on a Saturday night in downtown New Haven for the first time ever last night, and despite ending up in the weirdest karaoke bar ever had a lot of fun. The great and also sad nature of academia is that once you get close to someone it's usually not that long until they leave. Ashley is only going to NYC though, so hopefully this won't be the last time. I'm not being that clear, the great thing is meeting do many great people, the sad thing is when they leave.
