Man, I feel like such a loser since I don't have a picture to post with my . . . post. Anyway, I think this has been the best summer I've had since 2003 (Colorado). The program I'm in lets me work on new, challenging problems. It isn't as much heat transfer and I thought it would be. It is a lot of quantum mechanics and then talk of how they make transistors and various other microelectronic parts and why they work. I'm walking everywhere I go. I haven't used my car since it came back from work two weeks ago. It's fucking awesome. I'm going out and doing things with my afternoons. I'm working out everyday, including getting together with Jason on wednesday for a track workout, then hitting up flicks on fifth. Other days I'm headed to the bar, or to the park. Basically I'm doing all the things I said I was going to be able to do when I moved here. And it's fucking awesome. I absolutely love living here. It is a shame that my past two summers have been marred with ACL injuries, because I've really been missing out. Just yesterday my Dad and I walked (o.k. my Dad drove from decatur and hobbled the rest of his way on his fucked up knee) to Tech to watch the last game in the super regional.
I'm working on a lab report on the Hall Effect for my class. It is due in two days, and it is part of a collaborative effort between three people. I'm doing the bulk of the work, which is fine because I need to hone my skills a bit. We're done with the class portion of the program (I took a test Friday). Next come the research part, where I'm going to be working for a guy from the MSE department: Roa Tummala. Apparently this guy is big. Big enough that I wont ever see the guy because he will be galavanting around the globe talking about physical limits on transistor size and packing. So I guess I'll be working with his students, or some shit. I don't even know what it is I'll be doing yet. When I look at his webpage all the details of his research are "electronic packaging." Whatever, it will be cool to do research again. Man, this summer is fucking awesome.
