This is the end of week 7 of semester 1 of Death Year, and the beginning of Fall Break.

I failed the first lab practical, but I failed it slightly better than most people; as a consequence, my failing class grade is enough above the Gaussian mean that I somehow have an A.

This means that so far, I have an A in all my courses. And so far, I've only had one major mental breakdown. Overall, much better than I was expecting at the beginning of the semester.

Downside is that research has really taken a low seat. I need to learn to work more efficiently and get more research work into my daily schedule. Those of you who message me, scold me regularly to get to codin'!

The good research-related news is I'm officially going observing at a major observatory! :D Man, am I excited...
