Mark it down for posterity...

I received an A on a paper for Reporting Lab. Apparently he wasn't being patronizing. Is it silly or sad of me to be currently repressing the urge to tack it to my refrigerator?

I also made a very good point concerning today's article topic. How is Gainesville affected by beach erosion, exactly? Hurricanes, yes, but this is *exactly* like my panfandom-centric DragonCon article, and he was actually speechless for a moment when I made the correlation. Shall once again review said article with him and see how it goes this time.

Also, I have no fewer than four ideas for articles this week, no fewer than half of them having the potential for an SDB connection. Time to make up for all the past month's crud, and possibly even have a little fun.

Huzzah!

I could use me some Aretha Franklin right just now.

Lance posing with students at Ortiz Middle School in Houston yesterday. He also appeared at Rayburn High School and presented telescopes from the Permission to Dream foundation at both schools. He also spoke to students about the importance of math and science education. Gacked from www.spaceweek.org.

Will not call Orlando International about standby flights to Houston tomorrow. Will not, will not, will not.

Someone come steal my phone.

*wibble*

There are more pictures of Lance at Ortiz Middle. Also known as your illustrated guide to the school AU. Picture courtesy of their official site.

My favorite:



Love him. Love him. The floor! In a science room! He gave presentations in front of classes and stood at podiums and sat at desks and how much do you love him for loving space so much?
