Bedrock & Paradox

And perhaps the present. Transitions in life are tough.  I finished all my papers on Friday, did my penultimate practicum day on Sunday, got a summer job yesterday, and finished up my last teaching assistant duties last night and this morning.  I have one more research project I’ve been ignoring lately, that doesn’t really have…

Today needed to be a big day.  I finished my first year of grad school yesterday, made a bunch of tasty food, went to a fun MSW party, drank a bunch of wine, got sleepy, and went to sleep (at home).  I also learned that my circumstantial friend Anthony Sloan passed away in his sleep…

..dun.  One last essay to finish polishing.  Will check it off tomorrow. I’m looking forward to an all-day bike adventure on Saturday.  I’m envisioning the singlespeed, up Miller Creek, over Hollowman, down to the river, up Cramer Creek, over and down the Blackfoot, and back home via Marshall grad.  A drinking-induced late start will likely…

No more typing. Ag.

Where exactly is this?   Can’t sleep.  One of those.

For Eric P. I completed my long standing Prolite 3S hackjob today.  Last fall, after acquiring a Prolite 3L for pennies at a ski swap, I decided to trim the fat.  The cut it, strip the foam, and reseal with an iron thing just didn’t work after two tries, so it sat idle in the…

Though it used to provide a great, uncrowded weekend to climb at the popular sport crags down in the Red River Gorge. Instead, I spent all day writing a paper.  It’s mostly done, so it’s time for a status update. Policy:  Still 100% turned in. HBSE: 80% written.  Collating the surveys and writing the conclusion…

I say I want to ride the GL this year, and my knees keep giving me shit. After intervals on the Lenz yesterday morning they’ve been creaky and achy as hell, strengthening and foam roller nonwithstanding.  Not encouraging.  I’ll be taking things as they come, but expecting that much out of my body so close…

Things are coming along nicely. Policy essay is still done. DSM essay got bit of an edit yesterday. Human Behavior essay is written up until the discussion and conclusion, which will be done last when I’ve gotten all the responses back. PPC essay is not yet started.  This last in slightly problematic, as it’s due…
