Steven and I are watching a special about MER – Mars Exploration Rovers – and you know, this is one branch of science I can realy get into. Why? Because no matter how many times I look at pictures of Mars, I always start craving caramel creams. You know, those lovely little oval caramel candies, with the white creamy center. Mmm. Now I want caramel.
Work on Wednesday was great. I mostly did a bunch of research online to back up my case that creative writing is therapeutic, especially for children. Debbie Sams took one of the interns and I out to lunch at the Washington Club downtown. It was really inspiring to eat a very stylish, refined lunch in a wood paneled room, sitting beneath a portrait of President Taft (who founded the club.) Ms. Sams sent me a timeline today of how things should work out, what our various deadlines are, and the general progression of assignments. I’m really looking forward to it, it’s just so exciting. Too exciting for today, though – I’m not feeling too well, so I’m taking the day off. Which I think is fine because, well, it’s Saturday. 🙂 Also, if I work *too* hard then I’ll just burn myself out, and that won’t do anyone any good at all.
I think we’ll be well on target, though, despite my Saturday off. Cause I still did a bit of work today, and besides, I’ve been working like mad since Tuesday. I’m already practically done with the initial stages of research, and I’ve got Tim working on some other in-depth psychological stuff. So things are grand, darling, just grand.
I love NASA, this stuff on the tv show are great. I’ve always wanted to go on a tour of a NASA facility and talk to the funny scientists. One of these days I aim to do that.
Anyway, I’m going to go back to laying down so I can nurse this headache and make sure my stomach calms down. Too much excitement, I think. 🙂
