So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Well I tried out for and didn't make the belly-dancing team. Probably a good thing... I don't really know what came over me when I tried out because there is no way I would belly-dance in front of an audience of more than my mirror.

I was the oldest person there, which made me feel... old.
I think grad school is kind of like being President. After 8 years, those guys look like they've aged 20 years. I've probably aged 20 years myself after only 2.5 years of grad school. I think I aged a year in the last two weeks.

But I DID make the "massage team", as in, it's a club where you get trained by a masseuse and then you show up and give random people massages around campus for free at random events. It means I'm going to have to miss our first indoor soccer game tomorrow, but hopefully after I give them all massages they'll forgive me.

In other news, I erased half my research.
The next day I magically recovered it.
Today my Martian volcano exploded for an entire year without incident.
By "without incident" I mean that 1E9 * 3600 * 24 * 669 kg of volcanic ash was spewed onto the surface, but in a way that makes sense.

In other other news, Fluid Mechanics II is killing me. This whole semester is killing me. This is shaping up to be the worst semester in the history of mankind.

Zebo was here but she seemed to be getting some kind of allergy to being at work on a weekend, so she went home. She was telling me all of her symptoms, and I was unsympathetic, because that's how I was raised, but now I'm starting to feel the same way. I have a suspicion that is was caused by being in this closed room without the air on. Zebo may have been the delicate canary in the coal mine, and I ignored her. Here's to hoping we don't all die,

A massage team? But massages are more fun when you go ROGUE!

*HUG*
Don't die! What would I READ?!
Belly Dancing? You're a far braver woman than I. The massage team sounds like fun. The only team I was ever involved in at my univeristy was the book club. Though I stopped showing up when the president of the club got so excited that he grabbed everyone's belongings and started flinging them around the room when he became too passionate about Don Quixote. I should have stayed in retrospect, but I was very VERY introverted at the time.

I hope the semester gets....well, manageable.

You guys have really... interesting... clubs. :P
» randomjunk on 2009-02-09 04:40:34

Ooo, now you'll really have to give me a massage.

Yeah, you should probably try and figure that out. In the entomology department at our school they didn't do anything about this mold infestation (or something like it) that was making everyone sick until the researchers and faculty started complaining (the grad students had been complaining for months)
