Well, school has started again, and my workload has once again shot up like mad. Oddly enough, that seems to be the time I get the urge to write the most, so I’ll probably be posting pretty regularly again. For today’s post, I thought I might just catch everyone up on the goings on of my life.
Summer was nice, extremely relaxing, I made sure this one counted because, as I realized all too suddenly, it was my last summer break. Ever. Next summer, if all goes well, I’ll be working full-time at and engineering company through co-op. So, needless to say, I made sure this summer was a good one. But, of course, it ended too soon, so here I am, back at the University of Cincinnati, continuing my studies.
Speaking of UC, has anyone happened to take the time to check out the college football polls? Let’s see, my old friends up in Columbus are ranked 9th, no shock there, and then, let’s see right there at 10…wait, am I reading this right? That’s right, the University of Cincinnati Bearcats are ranked 10th in the nation! In about 5 years they’ve gone from a football team who could barely hold their own in the conference, to one of the premier programs in the country. What a great time to be a Bearcat!!!
As far as classes go, it just keeps getting harder and harder. Don’t believe me? Well use this as a referance. I’ve been told by several upperclassmen that if I can survive this quarter, and maybe the next few, I’ll make it through Aerospace Engineering. Mostly what they’re refering to is a class called Basic Integrated Engineering, in which the professor came right out and told us that we’d be doing projects on stuff we wouldn’t learn until the next few years. It’s already turned out to be a very stressful class, but at the same time, believe it or not, I’ve actually really enjoyed the challenge. Right now we’re working on writing a program, and every little success I have feels amazing, seeing as how I have very little experience in programming.
That’s all I’ve got for now. Oh, and if you’re wondering why I’m posting this in the morning, I had to be on campus for a meeting at 8 that lasted a half hour. My first class is at 11. Woohoo! School is back!
