Providence.
Living in Providence now, splitting an apartment with tolchocky. Courses start in two weeks and orientations are even sooner.
Life is going to be a tricky balancing act for the next five years. My top-level goal is to become some sort of scientist in that time (hence applied math and not the pure stuff) but there are a lot of paths that will get me there. Giving the talk at the Ecological Society of America conference and having spent six days immersed in that problem domain is pushing me towards ecological applications. I need to get in contact with at least three Brown profs whose names came up at ESA.
On the other side of the fulcrum is trying to have a life. Running, guitar, cello, piano, cooking, programming, internet culture, having friends, and spending a lot of time with tolchocky are things I want to keep doing. As opposed to being vestigial lists of comma-separated interests on social networking sites.
In the past, I've guilted about not posting frequently. Enough. Now there's Twitter if you don't feel you're getting enough of me.
Finally, I found a copy of Günter Grass' Die Blechtrommel at a yard sale and I'm trying to use it to further my learn to read German project. Is this a poor and inefficient idea Y/N?
