And…break.

Yesterday I started the third (unfairly assigned) problem set for Ge 101 (right after turning in the second one), which is due on Wednesday.  The third question is about the measurements made of the Vostok ice core that led to … Continue reading →

What a week!

Posted on November 2, 2007 by meg

This has been the most stressful week so far.  All my classes finally ganged up on me, and I’m still slightly sick from last week, so it’s been sorta miserable.  But I just finished the last thing, and I’m heading … Continue reading →
