graduate school in full swing

tomorrow marks the end of our second week of full-time scheduling, class from 9am to 3:30pm and teaching framework sessions from 4pm-6:30pm. by the end of the day, my classmates and i look as if our brains have been removed from our heads, stuck in a blender and then funneled back into our heads through our ears.

part of the reason why school is so exhausting is that we're overing an insane amount of material in our geology class-- we did volcanoes, tectonics, dinosaurs, geological history of NYC, and geological history of the world in just the last two days. tomorrow we are going to work in central park for three hours in the morning, looking at rock formations and talking more about the bedrock and geological history of new york. i have yet to go to central park and look forward to seeing a little green. also working at the farmer's market tomorrow, taking full advantage of my free afternoon.

this weekend marks NYC pride, which should be fun. i don't really know what is going on, but i'm sure that i know people who do and can tag along. i plan on going with jac, for whom this will be a first pride ever. i will miss being in the rugby clan in seattle, but look forward to watching the parade instead of participating, for once.

have a happy weekend.
