Happy Friday =)
My sister and her boyfriend are visiting this weekend, so I get to do lots of touristy things that I haven’t really done yet. I do, however, have to bite the bullet and be ok with driving around LA and Pasadena. So far I’ve managed to escape that, and since I haven’t driven much in a long time, it’s kind of nervewracking…but it’ll be good to practice.
In other news, I finished Lucifer’s Hammer and now I’m most of the way through The Color Purple. After that I’ll probably read the first book in Robin Hobb’s new trilogy. It’s so nice to have time to read! But it will go away again soon.
My research is going all right – trying to move forward and hoping that classes won’t completely take over my life this quarter. I don’t think they will as much as before. I’m taking a planetary atmospheres class, planetary surfaces, and geodynamics. The last one might be intense sometimes, but I’m not expecting an overwhelming amount of work for the other two…we’ll see though, *fingers crossed*.
