I can smell NY...

Trip time is almost here! I can't wait till we get there. My flight leaves at 6:15 Friday morning. A little early, but I'll be too excited to care!

So Tuesday was pretty cool. Moved the research forward by a big leap. Tuesday night we went to Cinematique and saw Maria Full of Grace. It was an excellent, albeit somewhat depressing, movie. It was the story of a young woman in Columbia that isn't happy with her life, quits her job, and gets caught up in drug smuggling by being a mule. The movie went into erie details about the process of being a mule, from swallowing the drugs and how they are retrieved, to the atrocities that can occur to the person when things go wrong. Very insightful, and very alarming. It also does a nice job of looking at the immigration issue from the non-american point of view.

Other than that I've just been working like a maniac trying to get my research done. Should have a lot of great pictures and things to talk about starting Friday. Keep your eyes peeled! (have you ever thought about that saying? really kinda scary)
