Needing to fill my need of veil work, I picked up Fabulous Four Yard Veils with Shoshanna – Belly Dance. Shoshanna is of Arcata, CA; she is involved heavily with L.Rose Designs, since her mother is in charge of that. When I saw her last year for the Aida Nour show, she was very captivating. [...]

I went back to dance class. It felt good, even though it was pretty empty. I realized how weak I’ve gotten from just sitting and working at the lab for the past month. I will need to train a little get back in the shape I was before quitting. Even though I physically can’t see [...]

I’ve been running around like crazy, trying to do be a great grad student (attending thesis defenses, scrambling to complete my own research), working, and job searching. My dance and physical activity has been put aside, unfortunately. When I do think about going to dance class, it’s hard for me to motivate myself to take [...]

My friend, K, was the last of his class to go on as a MS holder. His these was quite good. It was a short presentation (about 30 min), but it was solid. I feel a little sad, because thesis defenses at this point are what funerals are to a lot of families: the only [...]

When I came back from my vacation, I was pleasantly surprised to see DaVid had contacted me and thanked me for my review, as well as informing me of the updates. What a great guy. Seriously, I think it’s cool to take an active stance in your business and not get upset when people don’t [...]

Despite feeling behind on my thesis (my advisor goes away for 2 weeks in July), I decided to take a small break and enjoy life. It sounds weird, because I just came back from vacation, but the truth is that it was a busy, stressful time. My SO is looking for an apartment in Boston-area, [...]

One of the requirements for a job I’m interested in requires a teaching statement. I did a thorough search and learned what one is: I have to write a 1 page (I received the page length from them) essay, detailing what values and such I hold in teaching, as well as how I execute them. [...]

E successfully defended his thesis today. Besides not wanting to see someone fail, I was rather nervous, because E is the first student of my advisor. In other words, I had no proof that my advisor is able to get a student through the MS thesis. Although I had no reason to doubt that, it [...]

The funny thing about vacations is you need a vacation from them. Time to catch up on sleep, home stuff (grocery shopping, laundry)… Unfortunately, I had to jump back into work. We didn’t get home until around 10:30 PM, and I had to be at work/school by 10:15 AM. Not pleasant. We began summer school [...]

I went on vacation briefly and forgot to announce that. More updates will come tomorrow; I am dead tired and have work tomorrow.
