SQUEE!

I've got funding for my summer project! I get to be employed investigating 'Time-dependent quantum dynamics of interacting electrons in nanostructures'! Yay!


Also, LARP on Wednesday was awesome. And my downtime mission will be awesome. And if I can get back in time after my downtime mission, the mission on Sunday will be awesome. Yay for sense-talking rats and stupid rats and not-rats and stuck-up wolfkin. And the creepy crone of plot and win. And the jackals rubbing my backstory in my face.

...Now in addition to 'I called to Rat and Wolf and Gazelle and NOTHING HAPPENED!' (woe), I can say that if I offered Jackal everything I had, I might get a handful of leaves in return. Maybe. Hee.

Oh, gods cause so much angst. Why do people bother with them? I mean, really? XD




Her smudged markings are like a war cry.

"What do you have to trade?"

"Why?"

"What are you doing?"

Jackal, Wolf, Rat. All stood around her, waiting for her answers, assuming she has some. She can't even look at the Gazelle. He hasn't spoken to her, so she doesn't speak to him. She waits, watching them back, looking from one, to the next, to the next.

"Connections, something of value?"

"Do you need... help?"

"Got something against surviving?"

No to all of those. Silence. Mumbled explanations, half thought through.

"You have nothing!"

"While you are here you will follow Wolf!"

"There are some others, around the city. You'll find them easy."

'Time-dependent quantum dynamics of interacting electrons in nanostructures'!

Well, I would say something like "sounds like fun", but actually that would probably make my head spin, never mind the electrons. Nonetheless, receiving funding is good news indeed. :D

I'm not even sure entirely what I'm supposed to be doing, to be honest. I'll be having the known physics explained to me before we start, and I'll have a supervisor, though, so it should be fine. Four weeks of maths, then four weeks of coding. ^_^ And I gets monies as well as work experience!

Heh, maths and physics are my weakest areas. Well, mostly physics. I'm about to start a course in accounting (which resulted in a total "WTF, you hate maths" from my mum), and I can tolerate MIDI programming because it's music related, but anything else just makes me run for cover.

But, it's great when things fall in place. My friend just recently got a job at a local theatre where she gets to shadow the director, and learn about stage direction, props etc., and she was over the moon, because her plan is to write and/or direct her own plays. She was already doing some voluntary stuff at community centres, but now she's getting paid for doing something she loves doing.

So - yeah. I'll stop babbling now. Sounds exciting for you, at any rate. Hope it goes well. ^__^

That sounds awesome for your friend. Isn't it weird how we started off in fandom in, like, 2004, and now we're nearly proper grown-ups?

Despite learning about balance sheets and VAT (ugh!) and accrual, I'm still a child at heart, it must be said. That's the only explanation for my current Pokemon game obsession. It is weird, though... It *has* actually been five years, more or less. Because I remember signing up to ffnet around Mayish, and then there was all that TV tome fun. :D Wow, I never realised it had been that long.

Wow, congrats on getting funding.

lol, Levan doesn't care if you follow Wolf, but you'll damned well be watched over by Wolf whether you like it or not :P
