Should have raced Michaux

I'm researching medical leave right now....  I think I'll have to apply tomorrow so I have some quick research to do. It seems like a good idea for the summer anyway as it will save me a hunk of money over the next few months. We shall see if I can pull it all together in less than 18 hours.

I had my interview today.... turns out I'm horrible at disguising my radical left-of-left sympathies. The 'a-political' group asked me not only about my preference of health care systems, but also about my position regarding undocumented immigration. Related? No. Bigots? I think maybe. I felt written off within the first 10 minutes. All in all I definitely should have gone out to Michaux. 

With (huge) exception to the interview, my day was pretty stellar. I had my first juego de futbol with team Holandia. Those ladies are rocking and we absolutely dominated. I think the final score was 11-0. It was awesome and I'm super excited about the rest of the season. I also had a delicious dinner with Ms. Tracy and managed to send in my final term paper for 882. Just a few more things to finish up, but nothing too pressing at the moment.

michaux maximus and the ordering of things

i have an interview for a grant on sunday april 29th.
the interview conflicts in a serious way with my plans to race all three events in the 'race michaux' series... i'm a little bummed. actually i'm really bummed. i was looking forward to the suffering. 

this means i'll really have to do my best to charm the pants off of the interviewers and the granting party.... missing the race and not getting the grant would be the worst of both worlds... 

in the mean time i'll keep chugging away at this paper on scale-fixing and local food.
