success!
For my birthday, Aaron sent me a gorgeous celtic knot-looking ring. But this is no ordinary ring - oh no, this ring is actually made of 4 separate rings all linked to each other, and only make a coherent, wearable ring when put together just the right way. Also, if you're not careful it promptly FALLS APART when you pick it up. Basically he gave me a brainteaser that doubles as pretty jewelry. My boy knows me so well. Being the nerd that I am, I spent TWO HOURS on wednesday fiddling with it trying to get it back together. Actually, it wasn't so much that I was curious about how it worked, I just wanted to wear the pretty ring, dammit. I got it to work by sheer dumb luck, and after sleeping and showering with it on for two days, I decided I should probably figure out how to really put it together so I can take it off without worry about destroying it. And I just did! Yay.
In other news, I'm finishing up my second of six weeks in ghetto Montgomery, Alabama learning all about Air Force doctrine. In other words, I learn how to use big impressive words to express seemingly common sense ideas (i.e. if you want to bomb something and your bombers are slow and can't defend themselves, it's a good idea to send in some fighter planes to protect them from enemy fighers). That, by the way, is known as "force packaging." Doesn't that sound *much* more impressive?
