dear florida and michigan,

just hush it already! i mean, i'm terribly sorry that your primaries aren't popular like iowa or massachusetts, but YOU chose to break the rules so YOU get to deal with the consequences. so. let's be big boys and girls and quit with the whining. nobody wants to hear about it.

p.s. for everyone who isn't one of the aforementioned states, jeff got word today that he'll be receiving a mighty hefty fellowship which includes:

*10 grand more per year than i earned last year
*tuition
*money to buy a fancy pantsy new computer every once in a while
*some other monies for some other things that i don't remember
*and he gets to work at a lab of his choice (anywhere in the US) for 12 weeks.

vacation? i think so.

i'm really proud of him. apparently he's the only student at rice that is receiving this particular fellowship. 3 cheers for smarty pants!

p.p.s. my little book is now available in my etsy shop :)

I completely agree about Michigan and Florida. So sad that your votes don't count, but you knew that when you chose not to play nicely. Get over it!

Congrats on the fun fellowship - where are you gonna go??? When does it happen?
