Well it sounds better than the truth: I just didn't have the time, luxury of space, or the internet connection to continue my updating on that schedule. The truth is I'm not certain what sort of schedule I'll be able to maintain now even...my new apartment (and yes, I'm moved into my own place; I'll be receiving a roomie in a couple days) doesn't have the good fortune of any neighbors leaking internet. I'll only be there for another 6 weeks or so...seems silly to call the cable company just for a month and a half of convenience. Luckily there is a coffee shop down the street that makes a mean smoothie and has free internet. So here I am, sitting in a comfy chair slurping down a strawberry-banana smoothie. Mmm.
So I've received the go-ahead to register for courses at UWM...I guess this makes it real: I'm going to ... go to grad school? Weird.
Okay, enough about my life: how about that science stuff?
Well I've lost my luster and drive to finish off my last lecture...part 2 was going to be pretty image intense comparing maps of the galaxy (and our position) to maps of the Earth pointing out the distance between Spain/Portugal/England and say the Pitcairn Islands. It was epic, I promise. The title of the entry was going to be "If there's a bright shiny center of the universe you're on the planet it's furthest from." Essentially: There might be life out there, just really far away and we're tucked away in an obscure corner. Only, Marcus being Marcus, I would have taken a page or two to say that. You know how I can be.
I should be frequenting the coffee shop pretty regularly (what else am I going to do, right?) so you'll hear more from me as I get re-connected to the internet and what's happening in the world at large.
