Finally !!!

Free at last, free at last, thank someone I'm free at last. School is finally over, but before we get to the newz at hand, let's talk about this little find.

Found it in a display case in the Electrical Engineering building at the University. Simply a Certificate of Appreciation to a long time contributor at the University issued in 1971. WHAT makes this note of interest is it is signed by the President of the United States at the time - Richard Nixon.

Like --- WOW!! President Nixon's signature.

Now on to a school discussion. How about my take home final for Electromagnetic Fields and Waves. Check out this disclaimer page.

Let's be honest, shall we.

And let's emphasize the repercussions of not being honest.

Yes !!! YOU WILL FAIL ECE 360 if you CHEAT. Well I'm way to honest to have done such a thing even without the statement.


And how well did I do on the test. Well the sky line above should be a good indicator. It's been overcast for a number of days during that week. Must have been a premonition.

And the SCORES are in! Microprocessors: C (who's available for CPR), and Electromagnetics: FFFFFFFFFFFFF

Solid. Rock solid. Stone solid. Ultra solid! To move that from F would demand an act of God. So what now? Well, knowing that the School of Engineering is going to kick my ass out the door with their best pair of boots, I guess I really don't know. Although I don't have a choice, I'll take a year or two off. Just work. Hard. And pursue a number of interest I haven't had the time to delve into. The biggest problem will is going to be staying focused on these other goals I've had for a long time. Now I've got the time. There's no excuse ya know. I just got to keep myself from sliding down an emotional rift and just wasting the day's away.

Now I've got a ton of shit I want to get done. I've got a ton of time on my hands now. That would be evenings and weekends. But still, tons of time compared to when school is in session. So what's the list include:

Learn a new language
Clean this pit of an apartment up. (hasn't been touched in 4 months)
Build a few pieces of furniture
Learn more about embedded electronics
Study more math (ya right)

The list goes on. And although I've got tons of time now, I find myself impatient. Like it has to be done yesterday. Go figure.

Thanks for the phone call K. Was very nice of you. Yeah I was tired, but I lived. Take care.

And take care the rest of you. Time to check out a few of my other favorite blogs I haven't checked in two or three weeks. -Cheers!
