So...
Sigh.
I'm finally finished with the hardest semester I've had to date. I never have to see Dr. Close again, fucking condescending asshole. I pulled through with a 4.0 again. This brings my cumulative to 3.867. I'm so stoked. I worked myself like never before, so it's really nice to have that payoff.
No one knows entirely how badly I pushed myself. I went a bit overboard at times, and paid the price either physically or mentally. I'm hoping to avoid that kind of deal next year, especially the staying up for 62 hours straight.
I'm a little bummed about not being in Tucson over the summer. I could have worked with Miller the whole time, and a lot of my good friends are down there. At least I have Laura and Patrick up in Phoenix with me. And I didn't see my family or Tenny during this past semester.
Judging by my continued success in this field, I think Physics is where I belong. Who knows what form it will be. I have so much fun working with programming, maybe I'll find something along those lines. I don't even know if I'll end up in Astronomy or instrumentation. I do know I'm doing the right undergrad degree for sure.
It's a rough road ahead, full of more Closes and Rutherfoords and Millers and Mannes. I'm scared and excited, but through it all I've got my awesome team of friends charging through the battlefield with me.
