Molly? Ollie Oxen Free

First of all, I am slightly disturbed at the idea that chain letters have made it this far. Other than that...

I'm it.

Here are the rules:

THE RULES: Each player of this game starts with the '7 weird things about you.' People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 7 weird things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 7 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says 'you are tagged' in their comments and tell them to read your blog.

I know about three bloggers, and two have been tagged. I doubt the one other blogger I know will participate.

1. My big toe is definitely my longest toe. I used to think that was normal, but I've seen a lot of feet since then.

2. I like to sleep with my window open, even in winter. I guess I have this thing about moving air.

3. I don't love chocolate. At least, not American chocolate. I have developed a taste for European stuff.

4. I have always had a secret dream to become a tree surgeon.

5. I have a recurring nightmare that my French horn bell gets smashed and as I try to bend it back into shape it becomes as floppy as a limp noodle.

6. I love physics.

7. My friends and I like to get together and watch documentaries.

I tag G.

I have been asked by a few people what is up with grad school. While it is true that fewer people actually read my blog than ask me about my future, I will let those three blog readers know what's going on.

I have only applied to two schools. I know it seems bad, but since both schools have said that they want me, I'm not really worried. Maybe I should be. The two schools are Texas Tech and Penn State. At Texas I'd be studying wind erosion. I would have my own office and my foot in the door of the ARS, a government agency connected with the USDA. I would get some money and have out of state tuition waived. At Penn State, I would live in much more beautiful surroundings, get a little (but not a lot) less money, but have all tuition waived. There I would study soil physics and physical properties. At Texas Tech I would study soil physical properties as they relate to wind erosion. I am really leaning toward Texas Tech, but we shall see how my visit to Penn State in a couple of weeks goes.
