Life as a Physicist

Sad to say, but the Society of Physics students BBQ was better than the department awards BBQ (holy cow — I didn’t take one picture of that!!). Why? Two reasons. First, instead of having University Catering services do the BBQ, Jermey’s parents dropped by and did it. Home made tabouli. Hard to beat that. Second — we had a egg drop.

The egg contraptions were dropped off the top of our 5 story physics building onto the stone patio out front. Thanks to the building manager for helping us get away with this. I got some video of it. My video camera has this very cool slow-motion feature. Unfortunately, I hadn’t quite gotten the hang of it, so I only caught a few of the drops.
