Last week up to Monday night was hell. Over the weekend alone, I spent over 20hrs on my diff-amp design. And I would call at least 15 of them wasted. There were some major hurtles to overcome, and despite putting in some reasonable hours over break, it still came down to the wire with a re-design the day it was due. If you couldn't tell, Monday ( Read more... )

My college is interviewing two candidates for smart grid research this week and I have been attending their lectures. Up to now, usually the research portion of the lecture was mostly over my head... I could grasp the high-level aspects of their plan/research, but could not wrap my head around the science. Lately, with these lectures, I have been ( Read more... )

Good thing I don't have a lot of time for LJ today. I really don't want to deal with the stupid political bickering.

As my semester goes along, I find the time I need slipping away faster and faster. My problem is not so much "I don't have time to finish my work" (I have always had that problem) but more a "After work there is no left over time ( Read more... )

Gonna keep this brief, still have a lot of work to do today ( Read more... )

Well, this weekend was a bit of a bust thanks to a wicked cold that knocked me on my ass, and then Anya on hers. I feel even crummier about v-day giving Anya the crud, but after all was said and done, the day wasn't actually bad. Just wish we could have got out of the appartment and down to Denver for the weekend. We're going a little stir crazy ( Read more... )
