The new RA job is going swimmingly.

Bad news:

I work in a computer lab all day in the gorgeous Seattle summer.

Good news:

My co-workers seem to be bright, friendly people
I get to code all day, without working for the beast
My boss is smart and sensitive; she picked up right away when I was getting lost ("deleted interpolation, cost adjustment, backoff, Viterbi search, mar mar, marmar mar mar,...") and told me to be upfront when I was getting lost.
It's a *nix shop (yay)

It's pretty mellow around here -- though that's probably just the summertime. I find myself wondering how I'm going to change brain-mode into linguistics when the fall rolls around...
