Making Conversation

I don't really have much to say other than hi. Allison got back safely and tiredly on Thursday so we have spent most of our free time relaxing at her house. At one point, we got to talking about earning money, study time and how those mix and she strongly advised that I look into getting more money on loan next year. I'm not sure why I can't even get enough aid to pay my tuition while it seems like other people to whom I'm spoken are able to get money for rent and food; there must be something that I'm missing on my FAFSA. Even though I get by now juggling Friday's, the MIRL and school work, Allison's voice of reason reminded me that the school workload will only get more difficult in a hurry. If I barely get by now, I'll be in trouble next year. 

So I have to figure out what to do and in the meantime, all I can think about while at Friday's is how nice it would be to be able to concentrate on physics full-time. Even twenty hours/week of no-thinking-allowed time trips me up.

Look at my great Kaktovik souvenir!
