- Hour-long breaks pepper my schedule again. Luckily, the midafternoon ones on MWF take me past a library where I might get some homework done.
- In addition to his day job as an IT manager, my father teaches operating systems and advanced Visual Basic programming at . I'm using the same operating systems book that he used last year. I know who I'm talking to if I need help.
- Speaking of textbooks, I bought all of mine online. I double-checked ISBNs and ordered early so that a few were waiting for me when I arrived on Saturday. It has been far less painful than last semester's textbook epic.
- I went to the Corec today for the first time in at least two months. Vacation and last semester's irregular lifting schedule has taken its toll. I'm weak... so very weak. I lost about 25% just on dumbell bench. Terrible. I hope to gain it back by summer. I should have more time to lift this semester. My CS classes— operating systems and numerical methods— should be far less time-intensive than compilers was.
- I had given up on doing undergraduate research this semester. I started looking for a sponsor too late and got distracted when the projects hit. I still had two possible sponsors despite that. One worked in an area I had little interest in and the other never got back to me... until today. Tomorrow I have a meeting with him and a classmate whom I may be working with. More news as events warrant.
