End-of-Semester Update
12 years ago
Okay, so it's become sort of a tradition that I do this as things wrap up...
-Somehow I pulled off an A in lab, meaning somehow I've lived through the first semester of Death Year with 4.0 intact!
-I'll be spending the next three months or so in South America looking at giant telescopes!
-Lots of other great news academically that I don't feel comfortable sharing!
I made it! And it ended up going much better than I expected. Only had one major breakdown / career crisis, even. It wasn't particularly easy--every single friendship I have that's not with another physics undergraduate has completely evaporated and I no longer know how to manage free time, but... done forever!
*Sigh of relief.*

Now, since I'll be out of the country for a bit: I warn that I might disappear. If you want to keep in touch, the best way is with my Skype.

FA+

It's already bad enough, though. I can't talk to someone who isn't either reasonably logical/intelligent/scientific-minded for more than five minutes about anything serious without wanting to bang my head against the wall!
