My super awesome life!
I'm alive!! I realize I haven't really posted since summer. What can I say, I've been busy living my awesome life. :P I just wanted to let all my loyal friends and readers know that I'm still around, and maybe I'll start posting again, if I have time. In the next few weeks I will be:
1. Helping my roommates host a big Halloween party at our house. It will be big. It will be awesome. Come.
2. Heading out to the Perkins telescope in Arizona to do some observing. It will be a crazy whirlwind of a trip, where, during the 4 days we are there, we have precious few hours scheduled for sleeping. The first night we can sleep, but the other 2 we will be observing all night at the telescope. During the day we could sleep, but we have chosen instead to explore the Grand Canyon and other interesting sites in the area.
3. Going to Las Campanas Observatory in Chile (that's right, CHILE) for more observing. This trip is going to be awesome, but once again, very sleep-deprived. Ah, the life of an Astronomer. I am super excited that I get to see the Southern sky for the first time in my life! I've never been below the equator (for all my traveling) and thus there are constellations that I've never seen. Seeing the Southern Constellations has always been one of my dreams. I'm excited. :)
4. Doing tons of homework, teaching, programming, and hopefully some research and studying.
Well, that's what I've got planned for the near future. Hopefully at some point I'll get around to writing about everything I've missed posting about the past couple months.

Carlsberg Elephant Gate
I totally went here...
and it was AWESOME!!! :)
and it was AWESOME!!! :)
No, I didn't take that picture. Unfortunately my camera was DEAD at the time. I am planning on going back again and taking many pictures, however. I have wanted to go see the Elephant Gate for quite some time now but I never went because for some reason I thought it was really far away. And I guess it sort of was, when I lived on Amager. But now that I'm in Frederiksberg it's mere minutes away on a bike. And it's awesome. I was probably a bit too excited about being there. :) Well, you know me...

Things I'm currently obsessed with
1. Day/Night World Map. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/sunearth.html
I reload this thing every time I want to "check and see if it's dark outside." Because, you know, it's sooooo difficult to get up and go look out the window. Note that during this time of year, Denmark never passes into the actual night. We only go into the 3rd level of twilight. If you were not aware, the three levels of twilight are:
1. Civil Twilight
2. Nautical Twilight
3. Astronomical Twilight
I learned this from my favorite aunt when we were living in a campground in Oregon one summer, studying those slackwater flood deposits on the river bank. It was awesome.
2. Pizza with egg. I'm pretty much always obsessed with this.
3. Bike lanes. LOVE them. The bike lanes in this utopia they call the country of Denmark are so
wide you could drive a car on them. And they're all for bikes!! 3 bikes could ride abreast on a bike lane easily. They are so amazing. Raised above street level, but lower than sidewalk level. People don't walk on them, nor do they park cars on them or mistake them for a right turning lane. In fact, in a lot of places you have a nice row of parked cars between you and the road, protecting you from traffic. It's so wonderful!!!
4. The song from one of my older posts.
5. Thai food.

Rain, Rain...
follow JM everywhere she goes...
In June I spent a week and a half in Utah to attend not one, but two weddings (that's a whole 'nother blog post right there)! While there, it rained every day except one. (Luckily for my brother, the one day it didn't rain was the day of his outdoor wedding reception!) I was excited to get back to Boston where the sun would shine. Unfortunately, when I returned to Boston, the rain came with me. I spent just under two weeks in Boston before leaving for Denmark. It rained almost every day of those 2 weeks. Yay. I bragged to my friends that I was excited to move to a country where they actually had sunshine. Then, I came to Denmark. The first couple of days were nice. Those were also the days I spent trying to recover from jet lag, and sleeping almost all day. Then I checked the extended forecast to see what Copenhagen had in store for me, weather-wise. Here is what I saw:
Ummm... rain every day? Are you kidding me?
A rainy day in Frederiksberg, Denmark
