UW Update Saturday 5/16/15

1.     UW Update Saturday 5/16/15
a.     Fairly laid-back day.
b.     Slept in. Grabbed brunch at 8. Did a few hours of linear hw, sent emails, etc.
c.      Played several hours of badminton with some chemistry grad students and others. I did pretty well, which made me happy.
d.     Showered, went to the Ave and picked up some tasty Thai food, which I ate in the lounge.
e.     Played a little poker with Jamie, Nicholas, Alex, and Jamie’s HS friend Nick, who is staying over in our room.
f.      Grabbed Rick’s and read physics. Figured out how formula for number of total molecular states in a solid modeled by a bunch of quantum harmonic oscillators came from binomial theorem. Man, that thing is everywhere! Getting close to definition of entropy.

g.     Started figuring out physics classes for next couple of years. Got into a long, engaging discussion with Nick about mincome, among other things. Finished messing around with physics courses, wrote this log, and hit the hay.
