| | Wow. It's almost been two months!
Anyway, here I am at the end of the first week of school. So far it hasn't been too stressful. Then again, first weeks are always easier since there isn't any work due and recitations and labs are usually canceled. But still, so far everything is okay. Abhishek is in my ESE 211 (electronics lab) class so score! Another semester of having a good lab partner lol. ESE 231 (introduction to semiconductors) hasn't been as good though. The professor seems nice enough and very enthusiastic about the subject (I believe it's his field) but I find he goes through the material really quick. It's kinda like with Professor Chen. Talks and writes non-stop but at least Chen had really neat handwriting and didn't rush through nearly as much as Shterengas does. Worst part is that he doesn't put up notes online so its even harder to write them down and understand what he's saying since he has a thick russian accent (even worse than Donetski's). After the second lecture, my brain was practically fried and I felt like I was loosing concentration near the end of the lecture. Still, I guess with the topic anything Shterengas says in the lecture will basically be from the textbook. So far he's just going over some physics stuff so its not too bad yet. Calc III, I just don't know. The Professor is nice and kinda reminds me of Mr. Widom. But I guess I'm not use to his style of teaching yet. So far we've just done some simple multivariable equations and sketching. ESE 306 (random signals and systems) seems like a bitch. Going over probability stuff now. I think this might be the second hardest class I have this semester. And quizzes every recitation will be annoying, but I guess its good for me since it'll force me to keep up with the material. Finally theres ESE 372 (electrical circuits). I personally think that Kamoua is a good professor. Its just that the subject is hard in general. I thought Zemanian was a good professor too (albeit a hard one) but electrical circuits are never easy.
In other news, I got my Koster Bushcraft. LOVE IT! I've always loved the scandi grind and moras are okay but the materials that they are made from just aren't that good. I was going to get one of the scandis made in Finland and almost pulled the trigger on a Skookum from Rod Garcia but it was sooo pricy. It's like God answered my prayers and inspired Dan to make a mid tech run of the bushcrafts in 3V for such a cheap price. Like Stephen said, it's feels like I stole something it's so cheap lol.
Meanwhile, Rambo IV was not that good..... I think it's been downhill for the Rambo series since first blood..... I mean it seems like a lot of people liked it, but I think after the first one it just got too into killing and there really wasn't much of a plot..... Then again First Blood was based on a book so I guess producers had more to work with.
That's basically about it I guess. With 3 midterms for almost every class again After the first month it's gonna be extremely busy for me.....
