Wow! Haven't written since Wednesday! Bad girl! I should be going to bed now (it's 2:15 am) so here's a brief summary of what I've been up to the last few days. I analyzed the good files and I am currently finishing up the reduction of the last bad one. The last 2 bad ones need to be analyzed which is a task for tomorrow. I am running some more sky extractions. I actually wrote the nth nearest neighbor script. Yey! Sounds like not much work but it took 3 days!

For tomorrow: Match up objects observed during different runs and see what the dispersion in the redshift differences are after the correction from the skylines. Make a tar-ball with all Hectospec files for my advisor. Play with the nth-nearest neighbor algorithm and talk to a new postdoc for ideas. Finish up with the analysis of the last 2 files!

A little musing on grad student life: it is Sunday night. I've spend most of the day in my office working. I wasn't the only person in the building, there were other grads and postdocs there. I skipped dinner because there's nothing dinner-able in the building and had a cupcake instead. What the hell!?!? Why am I doing this to myself?
