Perhaps it will be a good idea to go for my Masters Degree in Engineering while topics are still fresh on my mind. If anything, I think I’ll focus in Computer Engineering and Design Concentration (vs the Signals and Systems Concentration). I can take classes as a part-time student, and the hours are flexible enough that I can take classes during the evenings.

It’s nice that RadiSys will pay for my graduate school tuition… I just need to get the ball rolling.

It felt great to be officially acknowledged as “graduated” from our department :)

We went out to Bartini and Ringlers that night. See the next post.

Its kind of funny though. Five years ago, the first class of my college career was in MTH251 and Professor Hart told us to do our homework on engineering paper because it looked nice and it was easier to read – that and I think the TA’s also graded on neatness. At the time, I didn’t want to spend $5 on a pad of ENGR paper and did the first assignment on regular notebook paper. Jump ahead 5 years, and it’s kind of funny that my last homework assignment might be done on notebook paper (that is unless I can get a sheet or two from you — hint, hint :-) )

Yes, I remember random shit like that :-P

My final exam schedule is pretty nice – just one per day :)

  2. CS391 - Tuesday, March 21st, 2pm – Take home final is due via electronic submission

  4. MTH255 - Thursday, March 23rd, 9:30-11:20am – KIDD 364.

EASY :-)

In other news: I went snowboarding with my cousin, Simon, Andus, Corey, Cara and Jon(?) on March 4th. The slopes were excellent. We should do it again soon after finals are over!!! I’ll make a post with photos when I get a chance.

  1. MTH255: The class is pretty easy but it seems like two or three problems from chapter 19 is sucking the life out of me. They should be easy enough to solve, but noooooo I just end up with an answer that is wrong. Seeing TA monday.
  2. My GTalk away message has been Vector Calculus II sucks donkey balls.
  3. I went to sleep at 3 am this morning.
  4. My lip was somewhat twitching when i got up.
  5. I’m currently using an orange highlighter to mark question numbers and underline my final answer
  6. The phrase “Is that your final answer” is REALLY annoying.

End of random post.

Gonna go watch TV.

I signed a long-term (20 month) lease for an apartment in Hillsboro today. I’ll get my keys on the 11th, and start moving some of my stuff down before finals week and before work starts on the 27th.

Gotta go do some homework.
