The first workshop concluded yesterday with a group dinner. I really enjoyed the course. It was extremely meaningful. At the very least, I came to the conclusion that my reactor and experimental design were fine and do not need to be changed. YES! I CAN GRADUATE! The dinner was at this pub/bar/restaurant called Ale Works. It was… how should I put it… like any other typical American small town restaurant we see in the movies. The setting was a tad dim, with brick walls. I guess that’s what people call atmosphere. And the portions were definitely American. They were HUGE! So much so that I only managed to scrape the top before I gave up trying to eat. So much so that the waitress even asked if the food was to my liking. It wasn’t that the food was bad, but neither was it fantastic, it was just that the portion they served me was enough for four meals!
On our way back, I saw the most beautiful sunset. Seriously, it was the most amazing one I had ever seen in my life thus far. It was so beautiful and fiery red. With the rays just streaming pass the mountain tops, and the sky burning up. It was a sight to behold. It did make me miss having some person by my side so that we could share this moment together.
But I’m trying to be strong. Note to self: Don’t think about people who are bad for me!
Anyway…
Do you know why the sky was so red? It’s because of all the pollution in the air. We were told that smoke pollution from the forest fires in California caused such a scene, while usually the sunsets were more yellow. It’s really sad to know that such a beautiful sight was caused by pollution.
In the end, it was still something amazing and I was glad to have seen it.
