Life After ESAS

I walked into work early Monday morning, ready to lead the ONR meeting with Elise and Sara, but there stood Dr. Kirby. She said locking out the calculator had pissed off some people at NASA and that they called and said our "services are no longer required." Even though I'm upset about the situation, I'm excited to get back to a normal working schedule. The past few weeks I logged 3 weeks of overtime/vacation, the first of which I will be taking next week. I have forgotten to take care of many things, sometimes bills, sometimes school stuff. I have stayed in that building until midnight way too many times and have lived the unhealthy life that I try to avoid.

One of the things that I forgot about was my degree petition. I had attempted to contact the Modern Languages department over a month ago about my minor petition, and I just assumed they would get back to me before the petitions were due. Friday I finally had some time to breath and found out that the deadline had passed. After some running around I was able to turn in my major one and they told me I have one week to turn in the minor petition. Now if I could only get the idiots at the Modern Languages building to answer the phone, email or anything!

One thing that happens when I have free time is that I ride my bike... a lot! I finally hit my goal of 100+ miles per week last week, faciliated by a challenging 60 mile ride on the Silver Comet (my longest, to date). We went to the big tunnel which was cool and kinda creepy. Still, it was fun though. I am so much faster than what I used to be! How exciting! It is the neatest thing ever to catch up to Will and hear him say "you're hauling."
That's one of the biggest compliments I've ever gotten from him.

So next week I have the week off... it'll be GRE study time and Grad School App filling out time. And catching up on schoolwork. And lots of riding!
