Yup, still here.
I somehow survived last semester (though I've yet to finish up a project...). I know I often say things like "I don't know how I survived X," but truly, it was tough times. Having to work on three grad-level projects at once is no good.
Instead of taking four classes like I did last semester, I'm down to two classes this time around. First, we have Stats 5021. Despite being a math major in undergrad, I have never taken any statistics courses. This course serves to fill that gap. This is also my first one hour class in years (most of my classes are 1.5 to 2.5 hours per session). I must say, I do miss short classes. I seem to stop caring about 1hr5min into any lecture, no matter how [un]interesting.
My second course is a special topics course, called Advanced Storage Systems. This is going to be a heavy project course; sadly, I have no background here, so I'm not sure how it will go.
In other news, a pipe burst in the EE/CS building at the UofM, causing severe damage. Among other things, the two labs I use for my TA work are closed indefinitely. Were they destroyed? I do not know, but this is going to making TAing 1113 verrry interesting for awhile.
I've recently been reunited with my longtime love, grapefruit. I had forgotten how tasty it can be (and, after searching the Internet, learning how good it is for you). For those looking to rekindle an old flame, I recommend it be this one.
Happy with the Obama administration so far, excepting the call to delay the DTV cutoff. The original date was in 2006... let's get it over with.
