ad_exia | Workity work work I hate Observational Techniques (Reply)

Um! Really, I'm alive. Mostly. I got my talk done today (yay!) and managed to at least get in an episode of Firefly while eating dinner before getting back to work. I'm just about done with the ZAMS project, except for the main sequence fitting at the end because I'm not exactly sure how. So I'll ask someone tomorrow. ^^; But other than that, it's done, which is good because writing the report up shouldn't take too long. Read one of the three MESSENGER papers I found today... yeah. Enough for a ten-minute talk, but... the paper will be stretching it. :D;; Ah well, I'm decent at BS and by then I totally won't care anyway. Here's what the schedule looks like for the rest of the semster:

By the end of this week

Due Thursday, December 15
----------------------------------
Cosmology Final
MESSENGER paper, Observational Techniques
Homework 5, Observational Techniques

(Note the ObsTech heaviness. JIAN IS CRAZY. XP Cosmology and Stellar Structures are reasonable, but when you couple them with the unreasonableness that is ObsTech, the entire thing just... explodes superexponentially. Like inflation! OMGI'llstopnow.)

So if I'm not on AIM much, that's why. But seriously, sendmeemail! It keeps me sane. <3 And gives me mini-breaks so I can stop thinking about homework for a bit. ^^; And I'm going to Anime Club tomorrow, looking forward to that, though I hope the end of things doesn't break my brain. o.O; I guess we'll see, heh. And Sashi goes into the vet at 7:30 Friday morning, not sure when I pick her up again but I'm sure it's sometime that afternoon. She's getting smart - knows what it means when I call her sweetly and hide a syringe behind my back. ^^;

There was probably more to say, but I don't remember it. Next update will be less work-related, I swear! And isn't there a
