This weekend was rainy. But it didn't matter because all I did was veg-out on Saturday. I was planning on cleaning, making random phone calls (sorry Karen), and doing my homework yesterday. But instead Kathleen called me (she's my former roommate) and Sunday was her birthday and she and a couple of her friends were going to lunch and the movies. So, anyway, I ended up spending pretty much all day with her. So, I didn't end up doing my homework. This is kind of upsetting as it is due in class today. That's why I'm here early working on it, I figure at least I can get a couple hours in before I start "real" work.

In other stupid work news. Last Friday I was having a problem with a computer code I run -- say we'll call it "the devilish relative motion post-processor" or DRMPP (Drimp) for short. Anyway, it has basically decided it will only work at random. Other times when it starts up it immediately (IMMEDIATELY) shuts down and says "Killed." That's it. Just "Killed." Anyway, I am running a study that requires me to run dear-old Drimp about 30 times in a row. Its all done automatically. The whole process takes about 8 hours, so I set it up to go for the weekend. I came back, and some of those 30 runs were completed, while, yet, others had the mysterious "Killed". Why oh why??

And in good news... I have been selected for my first U.N. summit. I will be participating in the Space Generation Summit, part of the U.N. Summit on Space Policy at the World Space Congress here in Houston in October. I don't actually know how competitive the selection was, but I am excited, none-the-less. How cool is that..!!???
