Ramping up

I have class on Monday! After seeing another pre-orals section, this one closer to my interests (about planets!), I’m really excited about classes. I’m actually glad the summer quarter is ending. I’ve found it kind of hard to get going on my own here, and I think classes will give enough structure to my day to help me organize my time better, what little of it there will be. I am glad I arrived before orientation, but I think maybe I should have waited a couple of weeks more. It’s nice to know what one of my projects will be, even though I don’t feel that I contributed much to it over the past few weeks. At least I don’t have to stress out about finding a topic…until later when I start looking for the second project.

Jon’s here now, for good. Orientation ends tomorrow. There’s a good chance I will find out about the theater department soon. I’m almost done with the series I’m reading, just in time to not have any time. I need to buy school supplies (yay!). And my neck is killing me after sitting through these boring orientation talks.

That’s all =)

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.

    Good luck with classes, and thanks for the ensemble stamp. It’s good to know you still think about us here on the east coast.

    Glad the stamp got there. It was actually free, except for shipping. VistaPrint has several “free” deals…maybe worth looking into in the future too. I thought the stamp might spare the publicity manager and president this year during the mailings…
