Contact icons

Okay, maybe not crashing into a coma just yet.

Making icons was my choice of procrastination tool this go-round, and for some reason, they're Contact (yeah, the movie) icons. Dunno. Lots of shippy ones, 'cause I think was was one of the few people who liked the movie better than the book because of the shippy.

I liked the 'shippiness!

Hooray for the shippy!

Man, what a great movie.

I know! I remember seeing it for the first time and thinking, this is what I want to do with my life. And then I had algebra, and realized that that just wasn't going to be possible. Damn me and my inability to do math!

Oooh, I really like 2. Very pretty, all of them.

Thanks! :)

Oh, man, me too! It was trigonometry/calculus that did me in - algebra I love, but nothing past it.

Algebra broke me. Geometry sort of put me back together because when all else failed I could just draw the damn triangle or whatever and figure out what I needed. (Plus, proofs are just logic, not math, really. I liked proofs.) Trig was okay, and I made it through pre-cal, but luckily my college didn't have a math requirement, so I was all done after that. *whew*

I still occasionaly dream about being an astrophysicist. Sure would pay better than being an English Lit grad student.

Yeah, but I suspect astrophysics involves more scrambling for funding. And anyway, everything pays better than being a humanities grad student, say I the Library Science grad student. I may be especially bitter because LIS is considered a "professional" degree and so we don't get financial support, just loans. Bleah.

That's for your projects. According to natural sciences grad students and professors I know, the job prospects are better than for the humanities, the scholarships are better, and often the pay is better. *sigh*

I came thisclose to going to library school instead of grad school. If I were paying tuition and not getting a stipend, it would've had to be part-time distance learning or something rather than full time, though. At least my higher ed pays me to go and for my teaching labor...

What kind of librarianship are you going into?
