More Just So Stories
As is self-evident, this is my first entry in a really long time. I’ve been busy with school (ironic, considering school has ended), recreational computing, and working. Yes, that’s right, working!
I thought this summer was going to be easy-going. But I as wrong: I just started physics class today, and that seems to be the least of my worries right now. But it’s a good sort of worrying– eustress instead of distress, as my high-school health ed teacher would put it. I’m enjoying having meaningful work to do instead of lazing around the house and destroying my hands on the computer.
All the reading I had planned to do will not happen. If any, I will be reading Chem books– it appears I can get by without doing so, but what would be the point of mindlessly doing experiments if I didn’t know why I was doing what I was doing? Conclusion: I probably won’t gain anything but semi-practical knowledge this summer. I.e. no metaphysics, just physics (and chemistry :).
I’m looking forward to the new REU student, as it will be cool to have another undergrad around.
On the web design front: the promised and threatened redesign of this site has been put on an indefinite hold. Not much of a change, just an official recognization of its de facto status. I’m concentrating more on my UH site, and the attendant blog: http://www2.egr.uh.edu/~aagitten. But I have seen some promising designs on oswd that I’d like to try out here. We’ll see…
