So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

I literally just wrote an email to the head of communications and public outreach at ESA asking him for a job. Hey, might as well start at the VERY TOP, right???? Actually I gave a talk at a citizen space conference hosted by ESA a few weeks back and the head of communications for ESA was at the conference. He tracked down M, asked if we were colleagues (why yes, that is what we are), and gave him his card to give to me. He said he liked my talk and that my English was excellent and he wanted to know if I'd be interested in doing some communications outreach for ESA. I said yes, and he said he'd be in touch. So I thought about it for a few days, and then wrote him back and added that if he knew of any opportunities at ESA in communications, my current contract was ending in November. BAM. We'll see what happens. My English is excellent--- I've been practicing it for a long time. I'm also writing a bunch of grants, as I said before, but I'm rolling closer and closer to actually submitting one. Terror. I applied for a faculty position at MIT. Because... why not? I'm going to ask some people in Berlin for a job too. Because BERLIN. But there's still a high probability that I'll move to Italy. I sent emails to all my friends asking them for examples of various successful proposals and budgets they've submitted. Right now I'm getting by with a little help from my friends, this is true. Last Thursday I had a wicked pinched nerve of some kind. The pain was so terrible that I couldn't bend over or pick anything up with my left hand. There wasn't a single position in which I was comfortable. I had to wake up early that day to go to a middle school to teach little bilingual middle schoolers about what it was like to be a space scientist. The middle schoolers were awesome. They all sat in rapt attention and then at the end they all had a million questions. Standing in front of them was like being in my qualifying exams all over again--- they asked questions on every subject from conspiracy theories to philosophical questions to Kepler's laws and the Deccan basalt traps. I gave one talk about how scientists work in Antarctica (to the 8th graders), then I gave a talk about the planets and how scientists study them using light (to the 7th and 6th graders). It was a very full day, but very rewarding. The 8th graders were learning about stomata in leaves, which was a huge blast from the past. As I walked around the school I was like a minor celebrity and I had kids coming up all day with more questions. My pinched nerve still hurt like a bitch, but while I was presenting at least I could forget about it. I basically learned that if you are feeling right awful and you have a pinched nerve, you should just forget about it and wear heels and give presentations all day, and then follow that up by going hiking and camping in the wilderness all weekend, because PAIN IS IN YOUR MIND. Today Him: I'm pretty much done with my work today, I think I'm going to leave. Me: Ok. Him: Unless you're going to leave soon. Me: I was thinking I'd leave in like 20 minutes. Him: Ok. Twenty minutes later we leave. I kind of assumed that he meant that he wanted to hang out or something, but as it turns out he just waited 20 minutes so that we could walk together during the 3 minutes it takes to get to the metro. Do I really have to leave France? 5 Comments. I think I would be more amused if that guy had said your English was "not too bad" or something. » randomjunk on 2013-06-11 11:29:05 Well, I hope something hits! It would be nice to have you back in the country again, but then again, we wouldn't want to waste all of your English lessons. ;) » jinyu on 2013-06-13 11:42:42 YOUR LIFE » The-Muffin-Man on 2013-06-14 07:00:54 I just can't event » The-Muffin-Man on 2013-06-14 07:01:03 *even » The-Muffin-Man on 2013-06-14 07:01:12
