Back to Grad School I go...
For anyone out there who is curious, I have been teaching General Physics I at Austin Community College for the past couple of months, plus the added lab for Conceptual Physics I. Everything was last minute and I had to quit DELL quickly to take advantage of the opportunity. Needless to say, I will not be using DELL as a reference with my less-than-24-hour-notice to leave.
I am also discontinuing my grad-school-hiatus this fall and returning to the PhD program in Physics. The new location will be UTD. My mouth is zipped, glued, barred and stamped shut - I intend to behave myelf *sniveling hands*. The goals will be propulsion and nano-tech. I've heard it will be really hard to do propulsion because the funding has dried up in the past 6 years.
Politicaly speaking, I can't wait to see who will beat Perry this fall (please please please), Grandma or Kinki. Also, I've decided to start referring to Fox News as "liberal media" because as my awareness has increased over the years, I've realized that they follow the same traditional model, with their own slant of course. They are just as stupid and silly as the rest - how can one get too angry at the same old drivel. If you watch too much of any of it, your brain will fry.
I'm still waiting for how mainstreamers are going to interpret the data from Gravity Probe B - the analysis is long awaited.
