Hello DreamWidth!

But every time I see DW, I think of Doctor Who.

Home: I'm feeling pretty good, even though Mike's going back home today. But he was here for over a week, and it's been wonderful.

Work: No work today!

School: Only two weeks left of this semester. I have no idea about my grades. I'm thinking that I'll be doing so-so. Which, really, is okay for me right now.

I've got myself signed up for 16 credits this summer: the required Health class, Social Neuropsychology, and retaking Pharmacology and Human Growth and Development. I might also take an independent study for my nutrition minor, which would put me at 18 credits. The interesting thing is that they are *all* online courses. I'm curious to see how I'll do with that.

Writing: Grant and I are finishing up our edits, and throwing Count The Stars to the VP-XII crit group sometime toward the end of the group.

Serene's beautiful 42 Magazine was delivered to my house yesterday. It really is lovely. And my story is right at the middle of the magazine, where it falls open. And the artwork is wonderful! I love it.

I should hear something by the end of the month about the two pieces I entered into the NMU short story and essay contests. I should also hear something from Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet and The Pedestal by mid-May or so.

Now that CTS is off and running, it's time to work on something else. I think I'll tackle the re-write of Matilda and then the If's alien-Russian Mafia story.

live blog - A presentation by Dr. Alan Robock

Getting ready to roll. Dr. Robock is from Rutgers, and ( making a presentation )

continued live blog

( Part 2 of Dr. Alan Robock's presentation on climate change. )

presentation = meh

Pretty much the same old information. I have to admit that I'm pretty disappointed. Live blog Part 1 and Part 2. I found out that the next IPCC is coming out in 2013, and will have more glacier melt info, and maybe some of the methane stuff, though he says it's too early to know that stuff.

Scientists are cautious, and for global warming, that means we get the most conservative estimates. I don't think that this aspect of scientific culture is serving us right now.

I did make an interesting contact - a guy who lives about 15-20 miles away, off the grid on wind and solar. I'm going to give him a holler and schedule a time for me and Mike to go out and take a look.
