back in rochester

Postcard from Ryan and Lisa. June 26, 2006.

Well, after slightly less than a week, the novelty of being back in Rochester, even with the unusually verdant plants, improved weather, extreme cheapness, and lack of traffic (the latter two in noted opposition to California), is wearing off, giving way to, dare I say it, boredom. I have a bad habit of finding myself stuck in an unproductive haze for hours on end. This is not just true in the obvious sense: I accomplish more when I am busy (see Structured Procrastination).

There has been a bit of an exodus. Ryan, Lisa, Bree, Ben, and Kastan from the co-op and Stefanos, Ben, Sarah, and Dan from the physics department have all moved away or gone on vacation, some permanently and some temporarily, some near and some far. I haven't heard anything from Bree yet. The camp where she is working sounds pretty nice.
