Dude, I'm wicked hella stoked right now.

I now have a job for the fall! I'll be teaching at CSU Channel Islands in Camarillo. The process went pretty quickly; I submitted my application last Tuesday, on Wednesday set up the interview, and on Thursday talked with the chair and a few other people and was offered the job. The position is officially part-time, but the department will be ( Read more... )

I just discovered that I can telekinetically levitate small objects. The only problem is that I don't think I can do enough research in time to include it in my dissertation. I guess it will have to wait for a paper sometime in the fall.

This week has been absolutely lovely.

I just got out of a meeting with Mihai, and he said about what I have written that, "already it's enough for a thesis." How so long I've hoped to hear those words. It feels as if ten thousand layers of doom have lifted from my heart. It's not over, yet; there is still a whole bunch of work to do, but with the outline I made and a host of things ( Read more... )

I just beat Oregon Trail for the first time, EVER! And with a score of 6264 as a farmer! This was the first time I've played it since middle school, and dysentery has never felt so good ( Read more... )
