Back to School
Posted in School on 08/22/2007 06:00 pm by enjanerdClasses are starting up this week. I ended up dropping one of my classes, so I’m just taking one course this semester and studying up for the Professional Engineers exam in the spring. Turns out the ship design class I signed up for was the first half of a 2-semester course that is intended to be the final project/presentation for a Masters degree. So, I’m going to hold off on taking that until I’m ready to graduate.
In other news, I’m molting. It’s pretty gross. I got sunburned at the baseball game a couple weeks ago and I noticed this morning that patches of skin on my shoulder blades are just pulling off. Ew. I didn’t even burn badly. I started looking a little pink and that was about it. But still. Eew.
Also, Ian ordered a laptop for me! Yay! Dell Inspiron 1520
. I spent about 2 months eyeing MacBooks, but in the end, I just couldn’t justify it. I don’t use music/photo/video stuff enough to make it worth it. And the stuff I do need to use it for — homework: MathCad, AutoCAD, MatLab, etc., or specialized industry software for work, would only run on it if I were running Windows anyway. So, I had to take the responsible route and not get the pretty MacBook. Instead, I got a Ruby Red Dell. Also pretty. :)
Saturday lunch at my parents’ house –
Father: So, what’s new?
Me: I got an A in my summer class.
F: Oh, how’d that King Kong movie
happen?
Me: Hard work.
F: Haha. Must have been an easy grader.
