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.
