Bharatanatyam in Chicago

Published by under Musings

There is finally a teacher here (Natya Dance troupe) that is convenient in location and time. However, I’ve been thinking it over, and I’m not sure I can justify it to myself. Since I’m quite possibly moving, I don’t know how worthwhile it is for me to start their classes for just the summer and [...]

I have a job!

Published by under Physics Life

At least for the summer. I was just informed about a minute ago. I’m exicted that I can stop job searching for the summer and that I can do what I wanted to do. Woo-hoo!

Last day of lab

Published by under Physics Life

Unfortunately, we end on kind of a downer in terms of labs. They sit there most of the time, doing nothing. It’s a gamma radiation lab, where the Geiger counter does what it sounds like: counts. I feel a little sad, but I also hate endings. With having an unsecure future, both immediate and long-term, [...]

It's Wednesday

Published by under Physics Life

And the conclusion from my boss on my job? The department head still hasn’t made up his mind. We’re in Week #9 of class. Next week is the last week. The week after that is finals, and then is summer school. They have less than 3 weeks to figure this out. Job prospects for in [...]

This time, it's serious

Published by under Goals

I decided wherever I end up during fall 2009, I’m going to make a very big effort to dance more. I want to do something professional soon (in a few years or so) with dance, and I’ve been thinking about what I need to do this summer. I need to come up with some solid [...]

Review: Global Girlfriend yoga pants

Published by under Review

I’ve been meaning to review these for awhile. I had gone on a revamping of my workout wear a bit ago; everything is rather worn out, and I figure if I get 5 years wear out of some $16 yoga pants, I think I can afford to get a new pair or two. After searching [...]

Even more on job searching

Published by under Misc.

I still haven’t heard anything in either direction on my TA job. I don’t want to hassle my boss, who has been a really fair and good person on this issue. It just sucks, because it is a holiday in the US, so I won’t see my boss until Tuesday. In this economy, at least [...]

Waiting for my inevitable fate

Published by under Physics Life

My boss told me that they should have a decision regarding if I’m allowed to TA for the summer. I was told the meeting began at 3:30. I hate knowing that. I feel very anxious, even though I think I’ve more or less convinced myself that I need a job this summer. I talked with [...]

So what's new in job land?

Published by under Physics Life

In some areas, a lot, in some, not some much. I have managed to do the following this past week or two: I switched over from a resume to a CV. I don’t know if it’ll make a huge difference in my life, but I figured that I may as well go for it. A [...]

Review: Hadia Workshop

Published by under Review

For personal reasons, I missed part of Day I of Hadia’s workshop but managed to catch some of it. Hadia, if you haven’t heard of her, is a Canadian dancer. Surprisingly, a lot of people have not heard of her (most of the people at the workshop confess they did not). I would say that [...]
