I haven't done too much today, one class, a few meetings... We realized recently that we are going to lose a full 24 hours before making it back home. Right now we are 15 behind the east coast, and by the time we reach Hawaii, will be 19 hours behind. Hawaii is 5 hours behind the east coast, so when we have 2 November 22nd days, we will still be behind the east coast, and will lose another 5. I don't like thinking of losing 9 more hours!
Tonight was Kurt's memorial service. It turned out really nice. We passed out programs with his picture and biography as well as the events of the meeting. One of the professor's spoke, as well as one of Kurt's friends who did a religious reflection with one of my favorite verses from Ecclesiastes that I recommended (chapter 3), and Kurt's roommate, Vin. There was also a great slide show with pictures and people speaking about Kurt and saying their goodbyes. After, we went to deck 4, where Vin released a bouquet of flowers, and we all had a moment to say our goodbyes. 8/23/87-11/7/08
