fun with work

i spent the entire day yesterday parked in front of my computer making a mosaic of nighttime ir themis images of my area and got about half-way done. it was so much fun. i totally forgot about eating and batting cages with erin. need to call her. but i got a lot done and was completely focused all day long. it was good. i also have to make a mosaic of visible themis images. so i guess i'm a quarter done with my project, not including writing. the actual writing of the paper shouldn't take too long. so i'll bust this out during thanksgiving. paper is due nov 30, and we have to make a 15-minute presentation on the project too. then the week of the 30th i'll be doing my project for geology of mars. have a plan now. woo.

i have to miss geology of mars tomorrow because my dr wants me to have a 30-minute appt with me and the only one she had available was at 10:45. and it has to be tomorrow because she's leaving for six weeks and tomorrow's her last day. so i guess i can come in 45 minutes late to class and go for the remaining 25 minutes. i don't know. i hate missing class. especially that class. sigh.

brought in the rest of my broccoli-cheese-chicken-rice conconction for lunch today. yum. and hershey kisses now makes some with peanut butter inside so i invested in a package for my office.

i really like this song. i found it this weekend. it strikes a cord in me for some reason. and the harmony is nice too.

guess i'll get back to working on my maps now. weee...

summary: working is super, i love mars, doctors - sigh, yay food woo, this song is awesome, back to work before deep. woo.

my cat's asleep but i am not

i'm clean now. it's about the time of year where i start showering at night because it's too cold to walk to class in the morning with wet hair and i refuse to take the time and effort to dry it.

lots to do tomorrow:
10:00 - print off stuff for dr appt
10:45 - dr appt
11:30 - rest of geology of mars (didn't happen; was at dr till 12:10)
12:00 - food!
13:00 - call freaking apple people about my ipod AGAIN
13:45 - work on planetary geology maps
16:30 - football!
after - go to target
after - go to sarah's, water plants, get mail
after - go grocery shopping for thanksgiving food
after - get my cousin erin's present and card together
after - work on planetary geology maps

then wednesday:
8:40 - ta petrology (the only freaking class i will attend on wed, and it has to be at 8:40 in the morning, sigh)
10:00 - leave school, go to post office, mail sarah's mail and erin's present
11:00 - go to bank, deposit $ in chris' account
12:00 - food!
13:00 - make chocolate pie for thanksgiving/work on planetary geology maps
17:00 - meet james at borders at 101 and scottsdale rd
19:00 - stargazing event begins yay!
later - go home and sleep!

weee. never a dull moment. at least i won't be bored. i wouldn't have it any other way. i'm so happy i get to help out at the stargazing event. i love teaching people about the stars and everything else that's up there. it's going to be cold. need to dig out my scarf and hat. wonder what happened to my gloves. hmm.

the good news is that both the cowboys game on thanksgiving day and the ut/tx a&m game on friday are on tv in tempe. at least i can watch my teams play.

also, i've been invited to the hollywood premier of king kong. james' girlfriend mary is on the production team. she also worked on lord of the rings. it would be awesome to go and i could stay with britney but i don't think i'll be able to come up with the funds to actually get out to la and back. also, the premier is on dec 14 and i've got finals on the 13th. and laurie leshin is coming in for paul niles' phd graduation and it would be really nice to see both of them. i don't know. i guess i'll just see what happens. maybe an opportunity will present itself. or maybe not. who knows.

i'm disappointed in the geology faculty of austin community college. my brother is taking a class there and his instructor led a trip into the texas hill country, where i'll be going over christmas for a day. he didn't take them to enchanted rock, or even mention it (or my brother wasn't listening, which is a distinct possibility), and he did not tell them anything about llanite, a rhyolite you can only get in llano, texas. or the austin chalk, which is the same unit as the white cliffs of dover. he apparently showed them the outside of longhorn caverns but didn't take them in the freaking cave. SIGH. this guy sucks. it makes me sad that he didn't show them the really cool stuff that's out there.

enough of my rant for this evening. tired. bedtime. perhaps. i'm a little wound up. i think some south park may be what i need.

recap: yay hygiene woo, it's cold outside, much to do in the next couple days, i get to play football tomorrow, stargazing is awesome, get to see my teams play at thanksgiving, might be going to king kong hollywood premier, acc geofaculty sucks, time for south park. 'night all.
