It's time for more looking back! Despite some rough spots, overall, 2009 was a pretty good year. Here are positive things from 2009.

1. Got into an awesome relationship with happyfunpaul2. Found a new career path as a math teacher ( Read more... )

As you probably already know, I'm applying to education schools to study secondary mathematics education. (Doesn't that sound fancy now?) As such, I have to prepare a statement describing why I want to study this topic, why I want to study at this school, and why I think I'd be a good choice for them to admit to their program. After much struggle, ( Read more... )

Since it's the talk of LJ right now, I am going to Intercon. I've signed up for SecureMarket on recommendations, and am going to be helping run Chateau Ennui. I am planning on signing up for Lifeline later. I am unsure what I'm going to do for the Friday and Sunday slots, and am open to recommendations. Also, I'm starting to think about rooming ( Read more... )

So I have foolishly not obtained a room at the Hyatt for Arisia this year and would be very interested in sharing one if anyone has space available. Please let me know. Thanks.

So I'm back from Pi-Con where I was LARP coordinator and on too many panels. I got a full night's sleep last night, but I'm still rather tired and somewhat out of it.
( Con reports are long! )

I hung out with happyfunpaul in the morning and got some work done: sending email and applying for a job.

My sister and her kids were in town visiting my dad, so we went to see them. My nieces and nephew are cute and high energy. We all went to Drumlin Farm where we got to see lots of farm animals and birds and walk around, and the weather was nice, not too ( Read more... )

So I've returned from my first WorldCon in one piece, and gotten some much needed sleep. I won't be catching up on LJ, so if you posted anything I really should know, leave a comment here.

( A con report! )

So I know some of you were thinking about maybe going to Pi-Con this August 21-23, and I want to encourage you to do this. It'll be a good time. The website has up a tentative panel schedule, including a wide variety on of topics: SF&F literature, media, science, technology, writing, comics, filk, gaming, lifestyle, and fandom panels. It's not up ( Read more... )

Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to let you know that I have too much to do, and the only thing I can easily cut is reading LJ. So I'm going to try taking a few weeks hiatus from LJ. If there is something you really want me to know about please send me an email (username at gmail).
Thanks.
