small fish, big tank, inaccuracies on topographic maps, confusion and a Discourse on Graduation Requirements;
i am seventeen types of excited! My advisor just agreed to me not re-taking Calc II. i don't think i can express just how exciting this is via type-set. It is exciting. If you think i can whine about hating Physics, don't get me started on Calculus. However, the joy is somewhat tampered by the fact that Geophysics is highly reccommended instead, which is unfortunately at the same time as Environmental Studies 126, a class that i was [AGAIN] really, really looking forward to taking. At the rate that Spanish classes & IES classes keep getting postponed for me each year, i'll be an undergrad till i'm thirty. But that's okay, 'cause i never have to take Calc again!
And in other fun news, i've been telling everyone i know about getting that REU this summer, and i get more and more flustered when trying to explain it each time. i clearly don't know what i'm doing. One of my grad-school friends got accepted to a PhD program in Ontario, we had excitement together. His news was a bit more-actually-exciting, but we both had this whole 'i applied for it 'cause i'm crazy and knew i was underqualified but it seems like just what i'd like to do were i actually prepared ever' thang going on, which prompted me to spit out my dad's favorite inspirational-poster quote:
"A Goldfish Grows to the Size of its Fishtank!"
which usually makes me think about mercury poisoning, but that's not the point today.
