At the request of my family members I apparently need to blog more.
Things of note:
<3 my family and friends. I've had a great week hanging out with everyone and seeing people I missed and reaffirming some old connections. The holidays were super stressful, but with everyone's help I've almost made it through. Twin and I will be back by Wednesday, and then I can really breathe easy.
I still have a slew of responsibilities. First and foremost is to finish the AAS poster and find a way to print it. I *really* needed to do it before classes got out but I just didn't have the time. Next I need to install the photo software and send pictures to my sisters. Then I need to download the latex programs (I think it was miktex, texmaker, and jext ? also I should get bibtex but I don't know how it works at all), and update and translate my thesis draft into that.
And the grad school stuff never ends. I need to email everyone with whom I want to work and let them know I'll be at AAS; make CVs/contact forms to put with my poster; order transcripts for my last 9 or 10 schools, and order GRE scores for my last 3 schools once I've figured out if they need them or not; and apply to all of them; plus sign and send the forms for all my letter writers.
Despite this lovely break, I do have a lot of work to do, and I hope I can get it done in 3 days when I get back instead of playing my 4 new video games!
