Secondly, I also found out that the Ice/Glacier class I signed up for in Italy also declined my application. The Karthaus class is a 10 day class offered in Europe that focuses on glacier dynamics. There were an extraordinary number of applicants this year, and they gave preference to PhD students. Perhaps next year.

Double Shot of Doh!
So I got a couple shots of bummy news today. First off, I found out that I was not selected in the NYC Marathon Lottery. My buddy Aaron and I were hoping to both run in it on November first, but the lottery only gives people about a 30% chance of getting in. Turns out both of us were just turned down. Looks like we'll have to try again next year.

I actually read on marathonguide.com that this year it was more like 1 in 5 got in...we never had shot. Anyway, New York has a policy that if you try three times unsuccesfully, you get in automatically the fourth time (or is it fifth?). Maybe I'll change my name to Katie Holmes or Lance Armstrong.
