So, it is senior week. I am now living in Butt A 229 for no apparent reason since they forced everyone to move out of Butt B (but stranglely not A and C). It is worth noting that I have now lived in all three Butts ( Read more... )

Okay, so I just remembeered this and wanted to write it down ( Read more... )

So...yeah. I haven't updated this thing in a long time. If I were to update while at Wesleyan it would mostly consist of "ha ha, wow, did so much physics today." It's going well though. I feel like I'm learning things and my research and thesis are starting to take shape. Over spring break I went to Montreal with Molly and Tori for a week and then ( Read more... )

Dear people who can drive home for break any time they want without needing to plan their trip around whether it's going to rain or not because their windshield wiper motors actually work,

Sincerely,

Matt

So I'm only posting my schedule because I find it hilarious how many classes are on it.

ASTR 422: Undergraduate Research (tutorial)
ASTR 431: Research Discussions in Astronomy (W 12:10pm-1:00pm)
PHED 118: Strength Training, Introduction (MWF 1:10pm-2:00pm)
PHYS 214: Quantum Mechanics I ( ( Read more... )

So...I may or may not have just gotten back from the Science Tower after working on the most recent Chaos problem set since, oh, I don't know, about 7 pm.

Let me give you a brief timeline of this particular problem set.

Monday: Receive problem set in class. Note that, if the trip to Williams on Thursday is to be possible, all problem sets must be ( Read more... )

( Long, ridiculous story )

If you have ever been to the Argus website, you may have seen this page. It's a really simple form script. All it does is send the contents of the form to my email address. I intended it to be used for things like "I found a typo in an article" or "this image is in the wrong place on my browser" and so on ( Read more... )

When I was at the KNAC symposium at Middlebury two weeks ago I was hanging out with Jesse (whom I had not seen since leaving Williams at the end of the summer) and talking about how it will be tough taking Quantum next semester, with the six hour problem sets and whatnot. The Williams kids all laughed at the idea of six hour problem sets ( Read more... )

So I've been sort of following the anonymous confession board as it becomes more and more heated and hostile. I realize that I have very little of value to add to a discussion of...anything, being a straight white male who grew up in the white-picket-fenced suburbs of a sleepy New England city and heard nary a discussion of sexuality and gender ( Read more... )
