happy May!! I can't believe the school year is wildly careening toward an end and that I graduated from Mudd ONE YEAR AGO. seriously, WTF?
I read so many random blogs lately that are much more coherent and interesting than my own. I'm considering starting a blogger or wordpress blog, and updating it more regularly, and trying to talk about something more interesting than what's currently happening in my life, because this lj seems to be phasing out after Mudd. (which is weird, but hey, there you have it.) but, we'll see. for now, I'm going to catch up on a pile of grading and catch up on a load of homework and something called a final project I'm supposed to be doing. beginning... tomorrow. :)
OH - I should mention, I'll be at camp cross June 12-14 for the reunion weekend. you should be there, too, if you've ever been to camp before. and I'll be in Seattle for some 48 hours afterwards. mostly to see Mike's family...doesn't look like my Dad will be able to be in Seattle then, though. he's got a new boat to haul up to Canada and a bridge tournament to accompany Lynne to in another part of Canada. retired folks amuse me.
I have some summer stuff vaguely lined up now, with the same professor I was working with last semester. different project, but it involves observing, which is (a) super awesome (b) time consuming (c) logistically nightmareish. observing low mass binary stars. and actually writing a paper about the X-Ray binaries I did a poster on in the fall. for all the random bits of research I've done, I've never had my name on a paper (only two posters) and I'm hoping that can change!
anyhoo, it's after 10pm, which means Mike thinks it's bedtime, and the kitties think it's go crazy time. better be off!
