New Job, and cool roommates
What a busy week, I hardly believe that it's Friday already!
So yesterday I accepted a research job for LASP (Laboratory for Astronomy and Space Physics ... or something like that.) I'll be doing data analysis on a project called airglow, basically they've sent up rockets to collect data on the Sun, and the atmosphere simultaneously. They're looking at the correlations between the Sun's output and the atmosphere's reactions so they can build better models, and then make reliable 'space weather' predictions. They said that I'll be doing primarily data analysis, but next october they're going to send up another rocket, and if I'm still around, i may get to work on the rocket!!!! (I think that's the real reason I took the job). Honestly I don't like research, sitting at a desk, crunching numbers and analyzing data is not my idea of a good time, but I'm putting in my dues, and getting more stuff to put on my resume. I also am going to be a grader for a lower level astronomy class. It's such an easy job, and I can do it anytime really. So I got the money thing covered. I was a little worried, but now I think I'll just be able to make ends meet.
So My roommates are awesome!!! The other night I had a lab at the observatory. I told my roommate, Kristie, that I'd be back by 11pm, but everything was taking forever, so when I finally got out of there it was almost midnight, and just as I'm leaving I get a phone call from Kristie. She was checking up, and making sure that I was okay. I just thought that was the sweetest thing ever!!!! OH, and Nicole rocks too. Everyone is going to the CU vs. CSU game tomorrow, and tickets are like $50. Now I'm poor, and I didn't want to spend my money and Nicole said that it usually gets so packed that they usually just stop taking tickets and just let the mob in. So I was like, well I'll totally do that and save my money, still I'm a little worried about not being able to get in. Anyway so today Nicole comes home and says she has a present for me. It's a ticket to the game!!! she get's an extra free ticket because she's working the game. Anyway we're having a bbq-get together thing after the game for everyone to come and hang out for a while. It should be way cool.
