Since my last post finals have ended and so has my vacation. Middler year is over and since Friday was graduation here at NU, I'm a junior now, and Summer classes started today.

Presenting my poster.

After the CenSSIS Site Visit with the NSF I went to a Red Sox game with some friends. The game was rain delayed by an hour but it was still a good time. I have to admit until now I hadn't been a very good New Englander... that was my first Red Sox game ever. Being in Boston, we're just a 10 minute walk from Fenway, so even when it started raining as we started walking back it wasn't too bad.

The day after the Site Visit I went on a Duck Tour with the students visiting from University of Puerto Rico.

I've taken a few days to relax, done a little work and and gone to a graduation barbeque-turned Celitcs watching party since finals ended and now I'm getting ready to start the new semester. I'm taking the advanced writing class that all students are required to take and a technical elective for my major, Microwave Circuits and Networks. I haven't had a writing class since freshman year so it should be interesting to have to write for an English professor again, its pretty different than writing lab reports for engineering graduate students. The Microwave Circuits & Networks class looks like it will be pretty good, the professor wrote the text, and he hands out detailed lecture notes which are pretty clear to supplement the book, so I'm not too worried even though it's only a 7 week term.
