Bay chillin

So the conference is over and I presented my paper no problem. I had a good time hanging out with all the boys (and girl) from Leeds. It was fun to show them around a bit and have the BBQ and swim back at my parents house. But now they've all gone and I've got another couple of weeks here. I seem to keep doing this. I roll through the Bay Area and figure I should hang around for a while and hang out with all my friends around here and take plenty of time to do it. However, in practice everyone has to work through the week and can only hang out on weekends. Plus people who only have weekends free tend to have things planed. So what ends up happening is that I become some slave labour for my dad at home and hang out with my friends a little, but certainly not as much as is required to occupy all the time I have. So I'll have to come up with some things to do during the week so I can entertain myself. I think I'll try and get myself off to the mountains, maybe Yosemite or something but then you get into the complication of asking to borrow a car. Anyway, its the weekend now so I've got stuff to do so I'll check out and head into the city.
