Maryland, Spring Break, Work-Fun-Work

An update for my summer plans: I will be just outside Washington, D.C at the University of Maryland in College Park for a research internship at their ECE department. It is part of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates. I think it will be useful preparation for when I pursue my Master’s degree. The program will run from May 29 to August 11, and will provide housing, food stipend, and parking. I’m looking forward to it.

Currently we are having our ‘Spring Break’, a week long holiday from school. The weekend at started off great at home, then I went back to the apartment in order to get work done. Unfortunately, a lot of things I need to finish have kept being pushed to the side. So I’m spending a lot of time during this spring break working on stuff, like:

  • Migrating all my study abroad posts that I had on blogger.com to saketvora.com
  • Processing all the videos I took in Europe and creating a compilation video.
  • Getting an web application form ready to go live
  • Creating tutorials for Oracle Web Calendar
  • Writing columns for the Technician
  • Doing homework for the upcoming week
  • Research for my independent study course

The ACC tournament is starting tomorrow, with four games in a row. NC State is playing on Friday, and we will be facing either Florida State or Wake Forest. When (not if!) we beat them, we will likely face Duke on Saturday, then if we win against them we will likely face UNC in the final. We need to win on Saturday in order to get a good seed for the NCAA tournament. Go Wolfpack!
