I've been incredibly busy trying to come up with a way to calculate dispersion relations. I've also been busy making some noise in an aeroacoustics lab (see below). By the way, did you know that math is everywhere? Math can be so festive!
I have a few trips coming up. First, I'm going back home for for about a week. Then, I'll be in Prague for the New Year. After that, it's off to Munich and then to Zurich. SOOOO excited! It's probably going to be crazy cold, but that's okay. If I don't die from frostbite, I'll be sure to post some pictures. An added bonus is that I'll be flying with Icelandair on my way back to the US. Iceland seems like such a friendly little island, so I'm curious to see what their airline is like. Maybe they'll play Sigur Rós throughout the flight?
Lastly, here are some good words to remember in the wake of yesterday's events. Courtesy of Mr. Rogers:
"When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.' To this day, especially in times of 'disaster,' I remember my mother's words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers - so many caring people in this world."
