What is Going On?

The past few weeks have been hectic, and I have lost my blogging habit. I hope to rekindle this obsession with telling the world of my life, even if it falls on deaf ears (and blind eyes/unclicked links/etc.). Recently, I cannot decide if taking an Algebra qualification exam or completing the Endless Setlist on Rock Band will be my most extreme achievement. I guess I'll wait to see how successful the qual was.

Now that the qual is done, I can start thinking about fun math again. I'm thinking of giving a talk at the Graduate Student Combinatorics Conference, and am going through some papers on a few topics. First and foremost, I'm going over my references for my thesis work. I think this is an interesting problem with lots of potential for difficult mathematics. Another topic is adapted list coloring of graphs, particularly in the planar case. Finally, my advisor and I are working with some undergraduates in subspace intersection graphs.

So many topics, and they are all fun. I'm sad I have to teach in the morning or I'd stay up late reading these papers some more.
