Wha 'appen?

Results on Spring semester were decent, all classes passed (Numerical as BARELY passed, and I'm really glad I was able to convince Prof. Rangarajan that I deserved to pass, because he could have flunked me if he were in a bad mood).

Summer was horrible - three classes attempted, two passed, one only on paper. A B in Management, a D (!!) in Financial Accounting, and a fail for Digital Logic. I flunked the final despite studying more for it than almost anything that I ever had. Now I'm taking it again.

Anyway, this semester's schedule:
Digital Logic (rerun)
Secure Programming (HAX!)
Comparative Politics (yawn)
Computers in Modern Society (kinda fun)
Research (Andrew is doing optional work!?)

While research isn't a for-credit "class", it will help me learn stuff, show the project leads that I'm a good team member, and give me a smooth transition into a senior project.

Anyway, I'm still trying to figure out ways to better focus. It may be because I've been doing this stuff for so long, semester after semester, and I really want to be done. Fortunately, I'm living at a nice new place, albeit far from campus (the Laurels).

Anyway, I'm gonna work to make this semester work, so I can find good work to work at.

This semester's classes:

Numerical Analysis (killer)
Object Oriented Programming (deadly)
Computer Networking Fundamentals (dangerous)
Intro to Marketing (risky)

The Career Fair last week went well, I received an email from one of the companies for an internship, but I doubt I'll be hearing from anyone big, like Intel or Microsoft.
