More homework?!
I worked out today that my VLSI CAD class was assigned a new homework this past Tuesday, while I was out with food poisoning. It's due this Thursday, so I guess that's what I'll be doing for the next few days. I'm already 17% finished (20 of 120 points), though, so I guess that's good. However, the last half of the homework covers material that was introduced while I had food poisoning, so I guess that's bad. I may have to pick the TA's brain a bit... in person... which I hate doing.
In related news, the food poisoning went away on Friday as quickly as it came. I was about a third of the way through watching Star Trek: First Contact, when all of a sudden, I noticed my stomach stopped making noise and carrying on. A few hours later, I still hadn't noticed anything, and the following morning, there was still nothing. I deemed myself cured and haven't looked back. Hooray for patience.
Katy and I made our flight reservations for the Massachusetts/Maine/Texas trip this afternoon, and we're excited about it. Oh, if only the next month and a half would pass more quickly...
Also, if you are a registered voter in Texas, please read what Andrew has to say about the November 8 ballot.
So, I'm trying to get someone in CMU ECE to consider giving me something cool to do in the spring. I emailed a professor several minutes ago about some nano-self-assembly and quantum electronics stuff, and maybe that will pan out, but wow, I really suck at selling myself. Especially in an academic context. I mean, what do I have to say? I went to a crap undergraduate school, passed my classes, don't remember jack about them, was employed in telecom for a while, don't remember jack about that either, and I probably got into one of the best schools in the world because someone hadn't had enough coffee when they were reading my application? That doesn't sound like it will fly. Anyway, I really want to get the opportunity to do some nanotech-related research in the spring, and if any of you have any idea how to make this easier, I'd appreciate some tips.
Back to tech mapping in SIS... poof.
