Half of the Canadian contingent at ISS- David, me, and Isabelle.

My friends took me out for supper for my birthday. It was pretty great. I was quite amazed at the gesture, quite frankly. For all of the issues I have with ISS, the one thing that has been beyond my expectations is the experience of meeting the other students from all over, and how phenomenal a collection of people they are.

My celebratory team: Fabian (Bolivia), Mibi (India), Faruq (Bangladesh), David (Ottawa), Thomas (UK/Australia/NL), Isabelle (Montreal), Chad (San Fransisco) and Veena (San Fransisco).
