Time flies! I get upset when someone's blog who I've been checking doesn't update for a week, and it's been almost a month for me. I apologize. I've been figureing out what kind I would like to do this summer. I thought I wanted an internship doing Computer Engineering stuff, like I learned in a class last semester. So that's what I told our contacts with IBM, and a manager was even interested in me. However, once I was talking seriously about getting the job, I realized that I wasn't all that excited about it. I also realized that I was very interested in what I was doing in my math class: error control codes - which is electrical and computer engineering, but also very math-intensive! And how much better can you get? Both ECE and Math? Beautiful pure abstract math, but also with applications? Did anyone know this type of thing existed? I am very excited about it. However, this is less of an enginnering thing, and more of a research thing. You can still do this type of thing at a company like IBM, but it's the research area. So I decided to tell my interested manager that my interests have changed, and apply for REU's (Reserach Experiences for Undergraduates) in Math and ECE -- and especially where they crossover.

It's funny, I started rearranging my resume to support applying for math positions, and my resume seemed to line up behind it - with all of the classes that I have taken and the tutoring I have done.

Here is a picture from a couple weeks ago when it snowed. It's been snowing pretty frequently, e.g. today it snowed for a little while.

Snow in the hair

Yay for snow! It is so peaceful when it falls . . . this night, it also made a nice powder on the bricks, so we ran down the path and jumped, so we would slide, like we were skiing.
