Wow... it's kind of funny to watch my estimated battery time left bounce around like crazy when I do something as simple as open up the internet to check Livejournal for five minutes. It went from 2:05 to 1:25, but now it's climbing its way back up past 1:30 now that I have minimized the window. Oh, Exia, you try so hard (maybe).
Really, I'm supposed to be - and am! - working on this future research plans thing for a couple of my applications, which is hella hard, let me tell you. I don't know what I want to do other than things in broad strokes, like, "Hey, I'll add more clusters to my current survey" or, "I'd like to study obscured AGN, they're kinda cool". And sure, clustering in the field might be interesting, but the equations people use to do that sort of work are nothing short of scary. I'm going to stick to nearest-neighbor sort of work, thankyouverymuch.
Mainly this week has been made of exams. Not that I'm taking them, of course, but I'm generating and printing and proctoring them for the rest of my life, it seems. I had the one on Monday, and then I got roped into proctoring two that weren't even my responsibility today, though that's fine, it's the end of the semester and I am getting paid for this. But I also have two tomorrow, and that telecon, not to mention extragalactic-ph, so I can see (once again) no science getting done. I got some coding done today, but not very much. Hopefully Thursday morning I can get some stuff done? I plan to print out Vicki's exam then, maybe, because why not, but otherwise I think I'm free to do science (yay?) until 3pm when I leave to hang out with Diana at Disneyworld the rest of the day~ Which means that I should go running tomorrow, totally unconnected to anything, because it's better than doing it on Friday before public night - but hey, it's the last public night of the semester, woo! Alas, it will also be cold, as it is still seriously cold here. And the astronomy building is just miserable. I don't think it's even that I'm just a freak regarding that - I saw males wearing jackets around the department today, that means for real it's cold!
Okay, I suppose I have dawdled long enough. Back to work. I WANT TO GET THIS DONE so I can put out these applications and stop worrying about them, even if I have 'till next Friday to do them. Gasp, I might get something in whole days before the deadline, how amazing!
... Well, we're back up to 1:40. That's something, Exia.
