Memories

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, even if we don't speak often, please post a comment with a memory of you and me. It can be anything you want, either good or bad. I promise not to come after you with a spatula, either way. Having a last name that means "war" doesn't make me violent. :-)

When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people remember about you. (I got this from Jesse's blog)

Bringing out the Einstein within me

I saw this test on a friend's blog, and it looked like fun. Apparently we're the same person, though. LOL

States I've Been In

I tried to include a lot of the states I've driven through, and there's a few cases where I'm really not sure what route we took, but I think I have everything I've actually hung around in for a day or two marked. Perhaps my father will enlighten me about the rest, since he planned most of these trips.

Thanks to my father's amazing memory, I have added North Dakota, New Jersey, Nebraska, and finally Missouri, which he just remembered as I thanked him for his comment. My family saw the Laura Ingalls Wilder house in Missouri.

West Coast, Here I Come

In one week, I will be on a plane flying to California for an interview with a company called FactSet. A day later, I'll be on a plane flying back. It looks like I basically take off as soon as they're done interviewing, so the interruption to the amazing world of academia should be as minimal as possible. It's pretty startling, though; I only found out last Thursday. Also, the exam I have the day after will be telling as to just how low-impact the interview really is.
