Ultra-quick update before I crash into bed for a few hours ( Read more... )

I'm a firm believer in being prepared. Chalk it up to years of Girl Scouts, a mother who carries everything short of the kitchen sink in her purse, and a father who must have been the inspiration for Macgyver. In the event that grad school doesn't pan out, I've got several backup plans. There's "become a pirate", "become a pirate and market ( Read more... )

Today's our fall break, so there are no classes and lots of people take off for the longer weekend.

AND my advisor also asked me if I ( Read more... )

not going to say much right now, because it's almost 3 am and i still have lots of work to do. but i thought i'd summarize my research so far ( Read more... )

inspired by kara's wonderful overachievement log, i plan to make myself do more things too. like updating this journal. i am a naturally private person and so many times i've not posted things because i didn't want to share them - not anything horribly bad or emotional, just everyday things. so in the interest of becoming more comfortable with ( Read more... )
