Mid-Exam Week Update
I took my ECE 403 (Analog Electronics) exam this morning and think I did pretty well. Hopefully I got above a 90 on it. I hung out a bit afterward with Nate because the CSC department was having their senior design project presentations. One group created a map of the NC State campus for the Unreal Tournament engine, but they kept fiddling with their machine as I stood by so I never got to see it in action.
We were getting our power meters replaced with fancy new digital ones at the apartment today, but this meant the power was going to be off for several hours. I went over to Greg’s house to crash a bit; gave Donny money for the Radiohead concert. I’m pumped — I get to see one of my favorite bands of all-time on June 2nd in Philadelphia. Hopefully Donny will be able to get the tickets this Saturday.
Greg and I talked a bit about our senior design project a bit. Another bit of good news: I was able to get into the science class I wanted. My schedule pretty much complete now so barring any bizarre acts, it’s finished.
I finished up my final report for English 331 - Technical Writing today. What a useless class…it is just an exercise in common sense.
I got so busy with projects during the latter third of the semester that I completely neglected to square away my housing situation for next year. I dropped the ball on it pretty badly so now I’m scrambling to find a place. I met with Mr. Warren, the landlord for Brandyn and Nate’s apartment, and he has an opening in a 4 bedroom / 4 bathroom apartment. I would be sharing it with three people I don’t know. I talked with my parents for a good hour or so trying to talk it out, and at this point I just need more information. I’ll be making a bunch of calls tomorrow morning to see what the housing situation is like. I know Caitlin (who is in Ireland now) is looking for a place and maybe Pavak can drop his housing and stay with me if I find a 2 bedroom place. Because next semester will be senior design and generally crazy, I don’t want to stay at my home in Cary. Being close to campus when things get insane is a useful thing.
On Friday morning I have my ECE 435 - Control Systems exam. After I make the apartment calls in the morning I’m devoting the entire rest of the day to studying for this exam. We get some equation sheets, but there is just a lot of material.
I’ll update this during the weekend.
