Carolyn & Joe's Adventure into Adulthood: work and fun stuff!

All last week I was attending/working at the FENS forum, the big european neuroscience meeting that happens every 2 years. This time, we were (un)lucky enough to have it in Geneva. It was nice to be helping out at the student social night, Jump the FENS (get it... fence), and it's information booth during the meeting. It was nice to hide out since I really don't like big meeting. Unfortunately for me, I had to commute everyday from Lausanne, so I didn't get to stay late at the Jump the FENS, which was held at the UN's private beach 3 nights of the conference. Here's a picture of the last night, when it finally stopped raining and the sun came out!

Friday night, Melody hosted a barbeque at her new, not quite so finished, lake (Geneva) front house....which is big and awesome! I can't wait to see it all finished. Once the sun was nearly down, Jacqui, Jen and I climbed down her dirt hill to the lake and went swimming... okay, i just waded around in the lake, which was really warm, and took pictures. It was awesome because the full moon was rising over the mountains through the clouds. I took a bunch of pictures of it while in the lake, but they all came out blurry because the lake movement moved me around too much. So here's one of the moon from the shore, after the boring swiss neighbors yelled at us for making too much noise.
