This morning I woke up and job-hunted a bit. It looks like I&#8217;ll tackle administrative positions at BU tomorrow. But for today, I volunteered to be an alumni interviewer. There&#8217;s a good chance they have enough interviewers in my area, but it couldn&#8217;t hurt to ask. Intermix everything I&#8217;ve said with a little math, then add a good solid hour and a half or so dedicated to relativity.<\/p>\n<p>\nBut even I need more than math. I also need to eat.
