Last Day of Spring Break

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*.

About meg

I think planets are cool! I'm a new graduate student in Planetary Science at Caltech, and at the moment I'm interested in planetary geophysics of terrestrial planets and moons. I'm originally from Cortlandt Manor, NY, and I did my undergrad at MIT, where I got heavily involved in student theater - a hobby I hope to continue through grad school, time permitting... I also like to read sci-fi/fantasy novels, obsess about English history, and play frisbee.
