I've got five minutes to kill...

So what's occupying my life you ask? Well grad school of course.
It seems that after much back and forth, I may in fact do my oral Q-exam this Friday. "The Q" as we call it, is trial by academic firing squad. It's more or less impossible to prepare for, and probably the most scary and intimidating rite of passage for us astro grads. And it may in four days time be over.
Otherwise there is a little under three weeks of classes left, two weeks of finals/projects, and then I get to go back to Iowa!!!
