the coriolis effect

Ok, now the new photos really work (Pucón, Santiago in Spring), I promise. the new group for spring semester was just informed....9 people, which should be a bazillion times more fun that 4 (in terms of being all alone in a foreign city). I trucked over to DRCLAS for lunch, and we were talking, and apparently Andryka is working on like 5 internships or something. should I care that shes (according to anibal) doing consulting for some swiss bank and won some oxford scholarship, among other projects? no. do I wonder how in the heck someone my age functions like that? yes, of course I do. especially given the amount of nothing I did this semester, the distance I felt I was from everything. it does not make the hours I`ve spent staring at microfilm any more attractive, either.
