It seems like everyday that I see a group of asian tourists at MIT. This place is really popular.

Feeling extremely stiff today. I had a tough work out last night, where I was actually sweating. I usually don't sweat very much when lifting. Anyways, I had a ton to eat last night and I'm starving now, so hopefully that's a sign that my body is burning up that fuel for building muscles. I may have to skip out on Thursday basketball because of this.

Ok crap, this homework IS really long. Luckily, my EM homework went pretty fast. I just had to show you what this quantum homework looked like though. Here's part of the answer for part a) of problem 1: Unfortunately, until I figure out how to load bigger pictures to blogger, you'll have to click on the image to view it properly.

The gods must be smiling on me, oh thank the gods. Both of my classes have homework sets with only 4 questions. Now you might say, well those problems are probably harder. I say, I don't care, 4 questions is still less than 6, and it makes me feel much better.

Apologies for anyone who doesn't know me personally. This is another rant-type post.

I'm having a lot of difficulty concentrating today. I think I'm feeling better though, but it's hard to tell when emotions inevitably flucutate. I have two homeworks due Wednesday, so I have a feeling I will be up late again on tomorrow night.

The good thing about all this stress is that it motivates me to exercise a lot more. I suppose it's a physical release from my mental pressure. I can report that lifting is producing a lot of results for me. Also, my basketball skills have been steadily increasing. Last week, I made many shots, although I feel like this week I will have a regression in my shot making. Oh well, I suppose that progress is never steady.


I'll try to come up with something to say here for everyone. I guess if it's one thing I learned, it's that hard times will always come. Life is never smooth sailing; the rough seas inevitably show up. Like a cycle, we are always forced to navigate through treacherous waters. I suppose, the knowledge that hard times will always appear helps us focus on dealing with our problems, rather than trying to get rid of them. Once the tough times are dealt with, you have to enjoy the easy times while they last. And of course, always keep in mind that easy times always follow the tough times.

Graduate students and free food. If you've ever read the comic PhDComics, written by some people at Stanford, you'll understand the relationship. I guess I'm not as big on free food, but I definitely have a friend who is the epitomy of Mike with free food. I think as much as half of his diet is based on free food. What a guy. Imagine when I introduced him to MMS back at Michigan: free lunch every Friday.
