summer, things, and more things

my summer plans are still unclear but at least half of my summer is now occupied: i’m going to pittsburgh for an nsf funded thingy on logic and other formal things, which is kind of cool. for the other part of the summer, i would like to be in boston, but that’s not settled yet. we’ll see how it goes. i am really hoping to have the opportunity to be in boston. :0) 

things in my life are a little haywire: over the last 16 days, i have had no days off from work or anything else for that matter. that’s cool, but really hard to do. tomorrow should be my first day off, yet i’d prefer to work. if i don’t work, i’ll be up and down the east coast, traveling from baltimore to new york. hopefully, i’ll be in new haven by wednesday night. 

there are some more things with which i have to cope: i did something pretty cool, something i feel is a big deal anyhow. but here’s the catch. other people attempted to do the same thing, but they did not do the same thing i did. so the dilemma is that i don’t want to announce this, on the one hand. but on the other hand, i think it’s very important to announce life transforming opportunities. obviously, i don’t want to hurt anybody, or their feelings. that’s not cool. yet, i think it’s important to let people know about this “big thing.” oh, decisions, decisions, decisions. 

some good news is that a dear friend of mine is going to be in pittsburgh this summer, too. yay! 

until next time.
