First day of classes, that was. Always a good one. A new year, a new semester : ) I am excited. I always am. Hopeless optimist, that’s me – even on my most depressed of days. A good day over all. Got back into the swing of things with a dose of Quantum Mechanics this morning, which I think I am going to enjoy sharing here. Followed that up with a bracing hit of Real Analysis, more specifically functions of a bounded stretch. Not sure I’m going to talk much about analysis. It just doesn’t appeal much to me. Followed that up with a break (something I didn’t get last semester, what with 6 hour blocks of classes), then some Differential Equations, to knock that requirement out, and then finished off with another dash of Real Analysis. The other spot of fun this evening was a talk on Ruby on Rails, which should prove to be an interesting course.
Nothing too serious, except for the Analysis and the oncoming Algebra, so it should be a relatively easy semester.
… Which is why I agreed to TAA for another physics course …
But, new year, new semester. Clean slate. It’s invigorating, really. Indeed, in several ways things are looking -quite- up. I always feel this way, every year, and so little ever comes of it really. But I’m ok with that : ) Maybe the mere act of writing this will help spur me on to new and better things. One thing is for certain though – things are different. And so we hurtle on, into the future.
And it strikes me, I do believe, that this is as good a time as any for New Year’s Resolutions. It’s certainly no better than January 1, at least, time being so arbitrary.
