5/23/25 I GRADUATED YESTERDAY! here i am walking the stage and shaking the university president's hand: and this is my cap i painted! it's supposed to be the harmony of the spheres model, because it combines my interest in classical studies, physics (it is my degree after all), and tangentially, music! 5/20/25 (12:53 AM) graduating in 2 days! home with my parents, plus my aunt and uncle are here from the PNW. tired but mostly contented. need to figure out how to run the code i wrote to get the fisher matrices and SNR for the BBH mergers catalogs since it's been like a month since i touched any of it.... but im sleepy so im going to bed. 5/12/25 first full free day of life as a bachelor of science and i've used it to go around to all my favorite coffee shops in farther off parts of the city that i dont usually have time to go to. excellent nosh all around. had a chicken caprese sandwich finely crafted by the gods themselves (cafe employee who is stunningly good at making chicken caprese sandwiches) and inhaled it. been spending most of the day editing this site and it's been a blast. 5/11/25 had work at the planetarium today and it was soooo nice outside :-) i got to enjoy walking around afterwards and soaking up the sunshine 5/11/25 (12:34am) last night at 11:59 pm EST, i turned in the last assignment i'll ever turn in as an undergraduate student. and i have strange feelings about it, i think.   i am definitely excited, but obviously there's that characteristic bittersweet feeling that comes from being in a transitional period. sigh. it all happens so fast!
