Blowing Bubbles


A few random goings on in my life IN THE FORM OF A LIST OF FIVE THINGS!!!!

1) I am currently unpaid but still working. My last paycheck that covered the period till June 14th has been deposited 
last week. Since then I have been sitting in my office, prepping for my class, doing some research work, and all without 
payment. So that's good! I'm hoping this will correct itself soon, since I need money. You'll see why in a bit. 

2) Still haven't heard about a grant that my adviser and I applied for. Getting it would mean a solution to Item 1 and it would mean I get trips to NASA Ames to go see pretty airplanes! Possibly. If the grant giving board approved such expenditures. Hope so, that would mean I get to poke the folks at Ames whose equations I fixed.

3) The honeymoon is paid off! And I am poor! Sonnofabitch! St. Lucia, here I come! But what if I want to scuba down there...

4) SCUBA LESSONS!! Scuba kicks ass. Emily and I are taking lessons to get our Open Water Certification. We don old 
BCD's and regulators and jump in a tiny pool and learn to breathe underwater. It's a bit freaky at first, until you practice
a bit. Not the most normal thing to tell your body to use your lungs when your face is underwater. It's a bit easier when
you switch to the regulator that actually supplies more air instead of having to suck it hard. That's right, suck it hard. 

5) I look so hot in a wetsuit. Seriously. I do. This was reaffirmed by the underage girls in the class constantly 
staring at me. Creepy. Can't blame them though.

That is all.

::EDIT:: Some lines didn't soft return when I was typing this. In an effort to inform, shift+enter will line break 
without skipping a line.
