How significant do you think we are? In the grand scheme of things we are nothing. I’ve done my fair share of Astrophysics while at SMU, and I am aware of the relative size of the universe and how insignificant the planet Earth is.

Work update
Life has been going rather slow, but productive. At least now Drupal is doing what I want it to do, 90% of the time, the other 10% well that’s what the drupal fora are for.
The only discouraging thing is that the page still looks bland, I am aware that I need to get have the bolts and whatever else is needed with bolts working before I add the whistle and the paint to make it look pretty.
On the TA side, things are getting somewhat frustrating, I was told to be harsh when marking then I get told to take it easy… I guess I was too harsh, but its remedial first year physics, the students should know the rules such as: “Don’t cheat“, and “show all your work“, or in the case of the lab “don’t leave the lab with your lab notebook since I have to mark it and you get a zero otherwise“, or “show up on time otherwise you wont be allowed in and you will get a zero on the lab”
I also had my birthday recently, the big 24, except I was sick on my birthday, so not much happened except dinner with some friends.

Small Update
So I’ve been over run by real life work, at the moment I am struggling with a Drupal install for one of my summer jobs, re-design a website from scratch, my biggest project to date.
My other job is a TA for a first year physics course, which is has its ups and downs, mostly that some of the students are not putting much effor as they should be, and I would not blame them, I am like that some times.
I guess I shall leave it at that, till the next time I update again.
