Still sick. Still miserable. Slogged through calculus, but did make plans to get together with Kristin and Katie for…wait I just realized we all have K names. Anyway, made plans to get together at Kristin’s for a calculus study session Thursday night. Tried to study for my geology test, but Glitch was back up and my head felt stuffed with cotton, so I probably didn’t do too good of a job. As usual, was tired all day, but when it was time for bed I was too congested (and too tired?) to sleep.

On July 20, the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy steamed south in the Arctic Ocean toward the edge of the sea ice.
The ICESCAPE mission, or “Impacts of Climate on Ecosystems and Chemistry of the Arctic Pacific Environment,” is NASA’s two-year shipborne investigation to study how changing conditions in the Arctic affect the ocean’s chemistry and ecosystems. The bulk of the research takes place in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas in summer 2010 and 2011.

Shock waves coming from Eyjafjallajökull! Pyroclastics! Awesome! …Maybe I should study abroad in Iceland instead of NZ.
This one has some beautiful shots of lava being ejected high into the air, but I’d rather have the actual ambient audio…

Considered working out, but decided catching up on sleep was a better idea. Went to calculus, met up with Susan for my time sheets training and had a nice visit with her. Walked home for lunch, then back to campus in the drizzling rain for geology lab. It started raining pretty hard once we got up to Nederlands, so our lab was truncated a bit. Still better than being in a classroom though! Back to CU, a campus newspaper journalist came to interview my lab professor about classes at CU that do field trips, and then she interviewed me a bit about the lab we just did. Sprouts for groceries (a ton of groceries), delicious dinner, Earth History homework, calculus homework, Earth History reading, break for dessert – yogurt with honey, almond crumble, and fresh figs! I need to read the next section of calculus before I retire to my bed for more ‘Death on Beacon Hill’ – I can’t get enough of these Gilded Age mysteries!

worked out, met the girls in burbank for ‘the american’, which I thought was great but it was admittedly very slow. went to glendale to run errands, picked up some panda express for study fuel and went over my chemistry notes. yoga, shower, quick talk with a guy whose bumper I scratched in a parking lot (I was distracted by pedestrians and the people behind me!) and he was very cool and we got things sorted, no problem. now time to force myself to sleep three hours before my body ever gets tired. super.

spent the day recovering from last night – watched some ‘the big bang theory’, caught up on ‘dexter’, had a great time looking at the photos from the bar crawl. thanks everyone for coming out! i had a great time and i hope you did too :)
My friend Deirdre has a posterous dedicated to her mom and the gems she sometimes says. It is fantastic.
Mom: Ah men, you can’t live with ‘em and you can’t live without ‘em. Well, you can, but it is harder. They can do so much of the crappy stuff so you don’t have to, like move pianos and concrete lions.
