Everything! Ah!

I finished my second of two tests in two days this morning and then it was out of super study mode, into super research mode. The abstracts for the AGU conference (end of May, Toronto) are due on March 4th and my proposal for a summer research grant is due on the same day. Furthermore, Marc is in Alaska so I can only do so much until he gets back. Come on aurora!

As I wrote to Allison, I am more comfortable being stressed about lab work because it is exciting and therefore motivating. I have done a lot of the data analysis and now I need to take what I've produced and write an abstract to submit; it shouldn't be toooo hard but I have never written one before so I need every ounce of guidance I can find. Hyomin and I talked about it a little today and that helped.

We had a Moses gig at the Three Chimney's last night. I thought it went well but at the end of the night, the proprietors happened to mention to Moses that they won't be doing music on Friday's any more, so our next gig is off. It is speculation to say this but we've heard that one before and when, some Friday evening weeks later, I went into the last place that told us they were discontinuing live music on Fridays, there just happened to be some guy playing terrible piano. If that's what the Three Chimney's wants, then they can have it. At least I had the most delicious pizza I can remember having (it had tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, artichokes and bleu cheese but that description makes it sound a lot more dull than it was).

Time to do the dishes!

Well, it may be important to remember that Moses never did make it to the promised land....or, maybe not. And Joshua then had to fit the battle o' Jericho by hisself, so it just goes to show you that it's always somethin'. Oh, and since the aurora is so important, I hope both you and Allison know the answer to the following existential question:

Q: What were the colors of the first dawn?

A: The sun rose and the wind blew.

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week, and don't forget to tip your server and be sure to try the veal.
