Everyday ramblings of a twisted mind
So yesterday I got another big chunk of the work done for needing to move from UCD to Metro. Talked to my advisor, and he’s really nice. It’s cool because the metro physics department is much more organized and personable. I never had an advisor for UCD. Dr. Sahami on the other hand talked about my options, how I can navigate my courses to get my BS as soon as possible and my plans after that. He was great. And he will be my Physics teacher so that will be great as well. I will miss the online teaching that Jim Dove did but oh well. Left on my list is finishing the accuplacer transfer to be able to register for calc, finalizing what will be accepted from my old transcripts as credit at metro towards my degree, and financial aid. Financial Aid is a biggie, and I need to get that done asap.
Have also been tired and cranky these last few days. The mood is catching since Mark is picking it up. Last night I let him watch a movie before homework to be nice - BAD idea. I couldn’t get him to do his homework at all. He kept being distracted. I’m starting to wonder about ADD in him. He has a hard time focusing sometimes. But not all the time so I’ll just keep an eye on it.
I have a take home final and a presentation due in cosmology on Thursday. Have worked through maybe a third of the final, have the presentation done. I’ve actually had a couple of really cool conversations at church with people involved in the sciences regarding it and astrophysics in general. It’s very nice when I get to actually talk about the field with people not in it, but still have them understand. At the church Holiday party I talked for almost an hour with a retired man who had done tremendous work in the science field, and was writing a book on WWII. I loved talking to someone who actually understood the concepts. Too bad he’s so much older than me and married. Oh well.
No political rants today. Guess I’m just too tired to get worked up right now. Although one interesting note. I did get an email from the guy I went to coffee with. Wondering now if maybe I just misinterpreted… It was just a link (and a funny one at that) with nothing else - but he tends to be quite brief anyway. Here is the link:
