connections

today was really fun. i went to jersey city via the path to help mengwei move into her townhouse with her sister, sam. it was really silly trying to get her couch through the door... her mom also made us noodles and banana bread. it was delicious! it was such a great space for the amount she pays :)

then i hopped back on the train to manhattan and biked from wtc to the museum of natural history. it was kind of scary that on amsterdam and 73rd street a cab's passenger opened the door into me and i rode onto the curb suddenly. a nice pedestrian, who i sadly did not even thank, steadied me as i continued to peddle because i was late meeting someone as a favor. i ran to the steps where the teddy roosevelt statue was, and we went to the lab to discuss conservation genetics. how funny that despite the artistic nature of some people, there is interest in evolutionary biology and seemingly unrelated topics. but in a way, if you can see beauty in nature, that is art. everything is connected and intertwined.

what was even more ironic was that we were both from the same town in central/south jersey hahaha. i truly believe we are all connected by six degrees of separation.
