I always forget to type in subjects!!! I find them to be spoilers!
My last post was pretty depressing!
Anyways, its a new semester and I thought I would update:
The break was one of the funnest I've had since I've been back in school, I went to boston with my mom to visit her WoW friends, (i know), and A. Boston is an awesome city B. Her friends were so fun! C. Was the best time I've had in awhile. After spending a few days doing laundry and sleeping, it was off to steamboat for annual ski trip with Dad's family. So crazy, ran into Ted on the plane up there and got to spend a few lunches/ nights out on the town when we both had time, he met my crazy sisters AND the big Daddy, which is impresssive. Honestly the break was so fun that when I got back, I was pretty bummed out.
As for school. Some of you know that I broke up with my boyfriend of about 2 years this month. I would venture to guess none of you know the details, and probably wont ever. I can tell you that this is a sad thing, and a good, liberating thing that needed to be done. I'm way behind on research and had really let school fall on the back burner to personal issues. I've got a new plan for my research with nanosphere lithography and nanoholes/pillars and I'm pretty excited, hope to have something decent to present at nanonet this year.
Classes: I'm taking 16 hours of serious business
Electricity and Mag 2: Should be interesting since I had my head securely up my ass for the latter part of EM 1
Scanning Electron Microscopy: grad course, I'm most excited about this one since I use this scope a lot in research
Biomechanics 1: ok, so this class is NO joke. Tensors on first day, coordinate transformations, stuff I have to um, remember....but I'm excited and the prof is awesome...At the end of todays lecture, which was a tough one, she cheered in her very chinese way and gave us all chalky high fives. lol
Solid State Electronics: So this should be interesting. Not taught by Pat McCann, but by a new guy they just brought in. Supposedly brilliant, but not the best communicator. my plan: ask questions, he seems to answer them clearly, as opposed to his lectures which are lightspeed fast and dont really follow the book. He also spent 30 mins setting up a projector. lol
Linear Algebra: My 'blowoff' class. So I figure I should officially learn matrices at some point, and I need the technical elective. three cheers !
I also plan on attempting to improve my health, although pneumonia and two bad ankles are foiling my plans at the moment. But I am not despairing!
I hope everyone has a great semester, a lot of the people I know are graduating this spring, and I am happy and jealous at the same time, but I know next year will fly by. Good luck on grad school apps and job interviews!
