Today was pretty fun; I guess it's only been like 5 days since my last email, so not a ton of excitement has occurred since then.
I watched the Oscars. I'd seen practically 0 of the movies that got awards. I guess I need to go watch The Brutalist. It won a lot of awards.
Two cool things happened today: I went skiing and saw a kid dancing. I will explain them in that order, and not vice versa. Some people from my work decided we should go night skiing, which we did tonight. It was pretty awful snow. It was more like gravel-sized ice pebbles, so it was kinda hard to enjoy. Nothing like the snow Ethan and I shredded through last year. That was good snow.
Now, for the dancing kid. This time it isn't me, I promise. The library got evacuated and the police showed up, probably because someone pulled a fire alarm. I was walking past listening to "15 Minutes" by Sabrina Carpenter, and I noticed a kid dancing. He was dancing pretty perfectly with my music, so I stopped and just watched him. It was one of the coolest moments of my life, probably. I couldn't have choreographed the dance better myself. It built and released at the chorus and didn't miss a beat, literally. Every single move was in sync with the sound playing in my ears only, hence why I watched this young lad for three minutes and 12 seconds. It was breathtaking. If you think I'm kidding, I'm not.
Okay, okay, I do have some actually exciting news. No, I'm not getting married. No, I didn't speak to someone with two adjacent X chromosomes. It is so much better than those things.
I am going to Paris! I got accepted to the study abroad program, so I'll be in France from Sept. 12 to Dec 5. I am very excited. I will have to speak real French to people, so that'll be an adventure. We should be doing some pretty cool things, and I figured I'd never get such a chance again, so I applied. W choice by me.
I'm supposed to go to a research meeting tomorrow. We'll see how that goes. I don't know the first thing about computational research of black holes. Maybe someday I'll give ol' Steve a run for his money. Well, a roll for his money, anyways. Running isn't really his strong suit these days. I'm trying to find some kind of research that I might be really interested in. I'd love to do something in string theory or the standard model, cause those are both pretty cool. Will I have a career where I get paid to do something? Who knows? Maybe I'll just be poor forever. It'd probably be alright.
Well, good luck with your week this week, I guess. Touch some grass for me, screenager.
