Megan (Bloomington, IN): "Last I banged my head against some stats for a few hours. Statistics is a great concept, but learning how to do it is a lot of work (for example, if the average wait-time for a table at a restaurant is 20 minutes, I can calculate the probability that someone will have to wait 25 minutes or longer)! To comfort myself, I made some lime water! I got hooked on hot water in China, and I add some lime water to make it tasty/soothing. This may be me again tonight...no rest for the grad student!"

Maggie (Austin, TX): "Austin is known for its bars on 6th street, but I tend to gravitate toward more hole-in-the-wall beer joints with a jukebox and the occasional texas country house band. Don's Depot is an old dive down 5th with a dance floor and a caboose as part of the seating area. I think the best part of it is the ladies bathroom, painted up like a caboose'n'carnival wonderland, complete with a shag carpeted raised nook and pole where you can peek out over the whole place."

Gretchen (Shreveport, LA): "After a long day of a classroom observation, last-minute homework, substitute teaching, class, and my weekly radio show, all I wanted when I finally got home was some hot tea. So I put the kettle on and only had the energy to stand there and wait for my water to boil."
