Ah, back to real life. Reading Week is nice in theory, but I find it's almost harder to go back and have a week crammed full of midterms than if we hadn't left at all. You can tell I didn't go anywhere sunny and warm...
Lately, there have been a lot of thesis students popping into my psychology classes to use us as guinea pigs. It's not a big deal because it usually only requires a quick survey, but it's gotten me thinking that my thesis is a lot closer than I care to admit. I will probably sound very silly, but I don't even know how to go about most of this university stuff. I wish there were elective courses you could sign up for that taught you everything from practical skills (financial management, basic car maintenance) to academic/career related things (tips about résumés and interviewing that aren't just tired clichés). I know some of these topics are covered in academic workshops and the like, but many students have schedules that don't allow them to attend. Plus, I feel like a three credit course designed around some of those subjects is just as meaningful as Introduction to Astronomy.
Time for more studying (and dishes). I hope everyone is enjoying the warmer - and slushier - weather.
Number of "modern" constellations: 88 (see, I'm not against astronomy! http://www.iau.org/)
Number of weeks I've actually stuck to my 2010 budget so far: 3
