memories of what never was previous next A Physicist's Guide to Smoked Gouda |
2003-05-16 8:43 a.m. im home now. and i cant find anything (most notably my sweatshirt and my ani cd). and im not used to the dark and the quiet. and there is zero food in this house, and the grocery store isnt just across the street, its a mile away. hum. im gonna have to make a trip anyway. carrie and chrissy planted a seed in my head about pursuing a career in science writing. then my mom reminded me that my sister also suggested that when i got an 800 in SAT verbal. then i started noticing on the plane over here how many possibilities there could be. chrissy had visions of isaac asimov dancing in her head, but besides that, the author of lonely hearts of the cosmos is a science editor for the new york times, there are tons of journals and magazines. could this be real? how does one go about doing something like that? i have a feeling people in the physics dept at school might not be too much help cause they do so much of the academic research stuff, most of them cant even see beyond particle physics. where do i go and what do i do? |
