A couple things ended disappointingly today. The Washington Post wrote me back saying that they were not going to publish my op ed. I checked in with my friend Philip and it turns out he's going to be too busy during his trip to DC to hang out at all. My class schedule is relentless and my back is killing me from the almost-constant sitting over the past two days (even with hot yoga yesterday afternoon, my back still hurts).
But there are some major silver linings today, too. Emily says that my ideas went over really well at Al Gore's nonprofit (and some other affiliated environmental groups), and that now it seems like the Alliance for Climate Protection is going to act on a lot of my suggestions. Rick Warren's secretary called me back and encouraged me to send an email, so maybe I'll have a chance to make an impact on the Religious Right after all. I *loved* my Molecular Epidemiology class today and it reminded me why I am putting up with Baltimore. I got on a couple professors' calendars to get advice and give updates about my research projects. And in what was probably the biggest boost to how I felt today, I found out that something that had been worrying me a lot the past few days was pretty much just in my head.
So yeah. Kind of all over today. Averages out to pretty calm.
