Posted on April 7, 2008 by meg

I was going through some of the Jupiter images for my second proposition project and I found some with a moon in them =) So cool!  I think it has to be Io, but I’m not sure.  I’ll try to … Continue reading →

Done! (again)

Posted on March 19, 2008 by meg

At least with the second quarter.  The third one starts in a week and a half…rar…so short!  The last few days have been really really hectic, but I’ve discovered that Jupiter’s core is probably solid, but we won’t see it … Continue reading →

Whew

Posted on February 25, 2008 by meg

Back in Pasadena, and ready (I guess) to buckle back down to work.  I have a little bit of catching up to do, but it’s not too bad overall.  I also have to take a midterm tomorrow night.  I don’t … Continue reading →

First day of class…

Posted on January 8, 2008 by meg

…was yesterday, and it was fine. We’ll see how the rest of my classes are today. I’m a little miffed that my continuum mechanics class is asking for extra classtime to catch up on lectures. I already have too much … Continue reading →
