There's this gas station right outside the window of my hotel, and one thing that I'm impressed by is the fact that for 3 days, the gas price hasn't changed. Amazing.

Yesterday before the second talk, one of the organizer said something like "we continue the random hijacking of extremal graph theory." (Extremal graph theory is the subject of the conference, and the first two talks were on random graphs.) So anyway, being in the U.S., that sentence should have been spoken with more care...I mean, "hijacking" and "extremal" in the same sentence? Yikes... On that note, I have to say that I enjoyed the last three talks from yesterday. They were the only ones that made some sort of sense...

I'm enjoying the time that I'm having with Tony, Carlos, Jessica, and Graeme. I just don't feel like talking to new people, as much as I want to, I just couldn't do it... In any case, I enjoyed the company of the Waterloo students group.
