How was your day?

Selected to present my abstract and received anonymous feedback on it (though, I'm pretty sure one of the reviewers is my friend's dad). It was better received than I thought it'd be. I have to give a practice talk to my research group in like two days, while also fixing up some little things.

And school starts next week, I am so ready for this.

Had to go to the bookstore to get my book for Math and that was packed, it wrapped around the whole store and there was no AC in there... But other than that, a pretty good day so far.

This is typical for the first week or two of classes.

Three of my physics classes are in the exact same room
...both of my math classes are in the same room, and my bayesian data analysis class is the room next to where my physics classes are.

Elementary Topology looks like it'll be straightforward/easy.
Classical Algebra looks like it'll be a pain in the ass with proofs and annoying crap like that.
Intro to Cosmology sounds like it'll be f'ucking sweet. We'll see, it's a grad level class and I'm taking it as a junior lol
Quantum looks like it'll be easy. Big class for a 400 level physics, though (about 40).
E&M is going to kill me.
Bayesian sounds tough, but incredibly useful. It's another grad/undergrad class, and I'm going to choose the option to be graded as a grad student because I love this professor and when I do better than the grad students in the class he can put that on a letter of recommendation for when I apply to grad school.


Speaking of grad school -- I will be completing a B.S. in physics and a B.A. in math this year, but it's looking like it might not be wise to graduate in three years. Research labs haven't gone so well for me, so I essentially have no experience. That sure won't get me into CalTech. I might be able to get into research this year on using Bayes to find exoplanets!
Haven't decided what I'll do with my 4th year here. Possible options (currently) include: turning math B.A. into a B.S.; taking 30 credits of grad level courses (Bayes/Cosmology might count for 3 credits each if I take both as a "grad" student); to graduate with a M.S. in Physics; or adding on a computer science minor.


EXCITING TIMES

Only a few days left before I leave home and head to Vancouver, where I'll be starting my first year in undergrad. Kinda nerve-wracking actually, but can't say I'm not excited about it.

Outside of that, feeling kind of pomegranate'y because of some stuff between myself and a close friend of mine and us not seeing eye to eye regarding the issue. I wrote kind of a long winded apology to her explaining my side and all that, but I still don't believe I'm fully to blame for the problem.

No matter what you do or what you say, some people are just plain assholes.

My skin doctor looked at me weird when I told him I found out I'm sensitive to silicones.
He's gonna make me his guinea pig for a new product hes trying to introduce to Singapore.

Also bought some supplies for my internship(A new mickey mouse pencil case!!!!!!omg!!!!!). Although I've been working part-time for like 4 years now, I've never had an office job before, much less a job that i actually WANT to be doing...

The internship my dad tried getting me is actually for a company that makes CNC parts. The only thing is,it is a technical writer position, and it may be a bit outsie what I am comfortable tackling, but we will see where it goes if it works out.

12 hours till my freedom is gone for 2 years

No matter what you do or what you say, some people are just plain pimentos.

It must feel horrible.

Wouldn't it seem incredibly petty if I'm picking off your comments because I construed a post you made half a week ago in a friend's thread to be haughty and off-putting.

The person I was trying to go out with (we were sorta talking but stopped randomly) now has a boyfriend....

Me and Brodie on our first real date:

Welp, he's certainly fun.

I explained to him the fruity word censors of the Southperry forum and he loved it, he couldn't stop laughing. HE'S PERFECT.

ew, only 3 language settings? I can see why you'd be unhappy with it.

That's a unique design on the right

resisted the urge to hurt myself during an emotional breakdown..
but at least I'm going back on deployment, so I've got that going for me.

As I get back into school, I've realized how much coffee I had during the summer.

I'm going from 3-4 cups a day to 1 cup a day, it feels weird.

They organized a goodbye party for me at work yesterday. Caught me completely off guard. :') And tonight a bunch of us from work went to dinner and a movie - I'm really gonna miss these guys.

I hate that you're leaving without saying goodbye
That you think it's okay to leave while I sigh
Waiting, thinking, dreaming of you
When you move away it's all that I'll do

Went camping over the weekend, was hoping to pan for some gold while there, but I was told before we would be camping in Lone Pine, so I researched panning there, turns out we were closer to Mammoth, so no clue there. I also fell and nearly fell off a boulder about 15~20 feet to the river below as I was climbing back down. Just a few scrapes though.
