Last semester at Tulane
Boy am I bad at updating. Whenever I'm in front of a computer, my urge to post goes out the window. But I shall do it anyway.
So my time with Tulane is nearing its end. It felt rather peculiar going to classes, in part because many of the people I am used to seeing aren't there anymore. The U.C. is still not done, but unless they finish for next spring, a whole class of students will have never had a U.C. at all. Due to the reshuffling of schools and programs, my two math classes and my psych class are in the engineering building. My advanced control class with Dr. Lu only has two students. And, well, it's just weird for me to be in an Acting class. At least my favorite professors are still around (most of them). Chatted with them about post-graduation plans, and apparently english-speaking graduates with decent GPAs are in higher demand than I thought. Although I still have doubts about places accepting me. I take the GRE in a month, and that (like everything else) "will decide my entire future". After I take the GRE, I'll start sending out the applications. UVA, WVU, Penn State, Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon, wherever will pay for me to learn (or teach).
I bought some backup hard drives, just in case things go horribly wrong (hurricanes and lightning strikes have fed my caution a little). One day I'll have a backup of every book, CD, DVD, game, software, etc., that I own on a portable drive. Yes, the computer is a big part of my life.
Ever since I cut my hair short, I've been trying to figure out how I want it, and how to then cut it that way. It would be easier to have someone else do it, but more expensive. The key is simplicity. I use a hair trimmer, a comb, and no hair products. Least amount of effort. Except I'm sure my technique could use improvement. Any opinions?
And now, some major jokes.
What did the Philosophy major say to the Business Major? "Would you like fries with that?"
There were four technicians traveling in a car, until it broke down. The statistician was the first to react and proclaimed to his colleagues that there was no problem. "Let me explain. The car works fine. It is 6 years old, has run up 200,000 miles, and the engine has run perfectly for 5000 hours. The problem is experimental error and should be forgotten about!" The second technician, being a mechanical engineer, and not so easily fooled decided the alternator was malfunctioning. Unable to fix it, he turned to his colleague the electrical engineer for help. This guy decided that the ignition was the problem, but after some tinkering was also unable to fix the problem. Finally, the computer scientist smugly looked at the other technicians and calmly suggested that everyone should get out of the car, then get back inside again!!
That's it for today. Now go read something useful.
