California love

How is it that time goes by so quickly?? I am just back from Seattle, where it was cold, as in freezing, as in snow. But it was still great place. I miss the coffee shops and the greenery, but I've got to say there's nothing like coming home to California. Hearts.

Still no word about grad school, but I have had good chats with people at just about every school I've applied to at this point. I don't want to jinx my hopes by getting them too far up before official letters come, but no news means no rejections yet, and I'm happy at least about that. Normally I'd be basking in blissful ignorance, but I'm dying to make plans for summer at least.

Otherwise, lots of reading has been done. Lots of tooling about the greenhouse and lab -- for pay! Not as much botanical gardening, but I'm hoping to get back on that bandwagon.

I am trying to re-learn math what with this future math professor I'm dating and all. I tried pitching him the idea of helping me brush up on the math I'm reading about in this ecology textbook, but don't remember from 10+ years ago (or never learned at all), and he seems to think it will even be fun for him. Maybe I'll finally get to have that dating-your-instructor experience...

Seriously, where do all the hours go?!?! I want to have more art and relaxation time. And somehow also more productivity time. If peeps want to get to get some arts and crafts on this month, I am down. Sadly I have hardly been musical at all in ages, but I still have the best intentions.

There are plans for girls-only arts + crafts (and just plain hang outs) in the works in my head. Chilling. Maybe some snacks and bad movies. I'm planning on making it happen!
