The last time I posted was at the beginning of the semester. Time really flies by when you're going nuts. Now the semester has ended...for the 12th time at Duke ( Read more... )

So now that I read the last post (mainly the caps that jump out at me), I think I've let a lot of it go. It's a little scary to see that I'm capable of being that frustrated at myself. I should be thankful that I set that post as private...could be somewhat embarrassing if it weren't ( Read more... )

I can go back to my regularly scheduled life ( Read more... )

There's nothing really to say. I've been chasing down the answers to the questions that have been chewing away at me for the past month. If I find them before I have to demonstrate my abilities then I guess I'll have more to say. If not, I'll find them eventually...it's just a matter of time ( Read more... )

Wow it's already nearly the end of September. What an exhausting month! It seems like everyday I have to push harder and longer just to make sure I keep up at least 2 days behind all my classes.

There's also a dull ache in the ( Read more... )

It's been awhile since I posted last. Thing just got ridiculously busy and I've been scrambling to keep up with everything that I've decided to take on. Research feels like it's going nowhere as usual. I've realized that the process can go on forever and that it can take a lifetime to make any significant contribution if you're willing to put up ( Read more... )

I'm just too slow ( Read more... )

In the past few weeks I've been home to see my parents, back to see my friends graduate, up to PA to see my brother graduate, DC to move him into his comfy looking 3 story house, and back here in the office to continue my pursuit of science. All in all, a very busy but nice summer thus far ( Read more... )
