Well, this is the first entry in whatever you want to call this (most would call it a blog, but I don't think I will). Don't expect any huge revelations of self, since most of the people who visit this site know me in real life, and I prefer to keep my deep down inner thoughts to myself. But we'll see...

Today was crappy, but life in general has been good these past few months. The summer program I'm in at the CNF is almost over, which makes me sad, stressed out, and happy all at once. Sad because I've really enjoyed my time at Cornell and I've met so many cool people. Stressed out because I'm not sure if I'll finish my research in time, and I'd hate to get up in front of a room full of people with nothing to show for myself. Happy because I get to see my Patrick in exactly two weeks! I've missed him...

I never find a good time to relax. There's always something to be worrying about...I guess that's just how I am. As soon as I can stop worrying about finishing my research, school starts, which brings a whole slew of other stuff to stress out about. Plus there's the whole grad school issue...applications are due in January, so I have to start making some decisions soon. I'm working on it...right now my top choice is doing materials research at MIT, but that's very tentative. I'll probably have a better idea after Patrick and I explore Boston in a few weeks.

I think that's a sufficient amount of information for now...
