Physics Pajama Party (and other nerdy activities)

This should have been posted yesterday: I'm going on one hour of sleep right now because of the Physics Pajama Party that was held this morning from 2am-4am. It was a group of maybe 30-40 physics students (and me) in a classroom discussing and watching the live streaming of CERN's big opening of the new particle accelerator. And no, we are not going to die because of a black hole being created. So stop saying that! Also last night, before the "party" a conversation came up in which 4/5 of the people at the table admitted to creating their own really hard math problems and trying to solve them for fun in high school. Guess who was the fifth? me. I was too busy not doing math homework, climbing trees, jumping in lakes, and working on campaign strategies for this crazy. I went to the SAS meeting (student astronaumical society) on Monday night, which was awesome. I looked through the telescope and almost died in shock of seeing the moon up close. So spectacular. Also a bunch of nerdy work-study news, to be blogged about later!
love,
whitney!
