Word of Recall

[tcepsa]

Okay, so unfortunately I do not have such powerful magics at my disposal, and as a result I am forced to take an airplane. Still, today I make my triumphant return to the nation's capital (if returning to such a place can be called "triumphant"--though I do keep finding reasons to stick around ;) It's been a great time out here though, and I'm looking forward to many more visits. This morning's physics lecture was awesome--they began covering rotational motion, so the prof did the demonstration of sitting on a stool with a spinning wheel, turning it sideways, and having it make him spin, and also the "ice-skater" demonstration where he held two handweights out and started spinning, then pulled them in and spun much faster (yay conservation of angular momentum ^_^ )

Now I'm relaxing in the computer lab, catching up on livejournals and comics, and then I'll be meeting up with my sister again for Calculus (looking forward to further proofs--they're really fun when you know what you're doing, and her prof is very good at explaining what's going on in a way that I understand, so it's a grand ol' time ^_^ ) Then I get to brave the Chicago public transportation system in an attempt to get myself back to O'Hare in time for my 5:30 flight. Hopefully my long months of DC training will not have been in vain...

Wish me luck, and hopefully I'll be seeing my friends back in DC soon :)

Yeah... Chi-Town is a great place... I've been hoping that Coie will find a teaching job in the area after she get's her Ph.D. I've got friends and family and a zillion other things that draw me there.

Since you've been traveling... I won't get on you about the comic for a few days...

Hehe, I'm considering heading out and becoming a part of their University at some point--what I saw of it really appealed to me... but that probably won't be for a few more years ;) That would be cool, though, ending up in the same area as you guys again ^_^

Comic is imminent. Got the panels mostly done--just have to refine expressions and put in the conversation, so it should only be a few more hours. (Translation: If you haven't gotten it from me by Thursday, commence pestering ;)

I've been to U of CHi... tho not lately... it really is a great place... way too expensive to go there as a student for me, and 3 blocks off campus in the worng direction and you WILL be shot... or worse... but still a GREAT school.
