I'm published!!!!

I was debating what to call this entry, since I've had several updates since my last blog. First, my research paper has come out. I've yet to get a copy into my own hot little hands, but it's getting there - I know this since my co-author had emailed me on Tuesday to let me know he'd received our two copies, of which he's sending me one. I'll also be getting my normal copy, and finally, this is done, after only taking me forever and a day, otherwise known as 6 years :-)

Also on Tuesday, although a bit earlier in the day, I met with my evolution prof., and even though I just wanted to learn what types of answers she was looking for to prepare for the test, I ended up getting a couple more points, so I'm now slightly above the mean for the test. And, I now feel like I know what I'm doing in the class more!

Yesterday, while hanging out with Pandy, we did DDR (who'd have thunk it, addicts that we are, right :-) ), and I did several 5 and 6 step songs on Max 2, for the first time, and got "c" grades, on my first shot! I also managed to anchor us for the song I asked Pandy to anchor, which is "look to the sky" on max one, the 4 foot version, the one I've been failing repeatedly for weeks now, so it was good. Also, obrseamus came over (http://obrseamus.livejournal.com/), and the three of us hung out and had much fun!

Today, I got to meet up with a friend I haven't talked to in a while, and he gave me info on what the SCA's like right now, which sounds better than it has been, and better frankly then the camarilla is currently, since I do this for fun, and out-of-character politicking isn't fun for me!! Also, it was nice just to catch up, since I'd been wondering how folks were doing! I feel like I've been out of touch for ages now!

Best yet, tomorrow I get to have more fun, since Pandy and I are going to Phipps, yea Phipps!!!, and I will get to both enjoy green growing things myself, and get to watch her run around like a kid in a candy store since this will be her first visit. Also, obrseamus may be joining us when he's done with work, since he also enjoys green growing things :-) This gives me something to look forward to through o chem class. And afterwards, there shall be more DDR; and it will be good!!!!!!

Lastly for today, I am still questing to find the perfect blend of chai! I'm trying to find a chai that will convince me not to buy chai at panera, as it is really expensive, even though it's also very tasty. I have discovered that eat n parks chai milkshake is chai-worthy, however their other chai's just don't do it for me. I've also tried several chai's from celestial seasonings (2 tasty, 2 not for me, and 1 yet to find), tazo's (slightly disappointing), numi's organic (tasty), and twinning's voyage indian chai (much chai goodness, and nifty bags, but hard to find, and webpage doesn't like to let you order it). I have found that adding a touch of vanilla, either in creamer, or extract, makes every chai better (well except for the chocolate carmel one, but that one was too sweet to start with!). So, if there are any suggestions for good chai's, I'll be happy to taste test them! And, if anyone else is likewise searching for a great chai, I hope this helps!

The cheapest and most delicious chai I have ever tasted is Dunkin' Donuts' hot Chai, which is, at my last purchase, $1.27 for an ENORMOUS cup of steamy-nummy-goodness. I have yet to find an at-home chai that measures up (although Nutcracker Sweet the way you make it for me and Shinma is delicious!)

I am *definitely* looking forward to Phipps and more DDR! :D I found out that I have in fact been to Phipps before, but I was only five or so and cannot recall the trip. Turns out Grandma and Aunt C. took me there as a youngster.

With much looking forward to tomorrow!
