11/30/16: Happenin' Part 2

1. 11/30/16
1. Another eventful and relatively balanced day!
2. Go to tutorials today since I missed them on Monday. Tutorials themselves are boring, but get to meet some new people, explain some concepts. Get into an interesting discussion with Kelsey from Putnam club and TA Kyle about the smoothness of wavefunctions.
3. Between tutorials, move the food drive boxes as somebody was caught stealing from them (!).
4. StatMech! Feel that I’m understanding solidly what’s going on, and manage to answer somebody else’s question in class. Afterwards, ask prof. Marcel whether he’s doing any research currently; he’s not but he brings up the idea of small reading groups, 2-3 students, on the topics of quantum computing and neuroscience (which happen, ridiculously, to be my top 2 most intriguing topics right now).
5. Meet with Miranda for lunch! Fun conversation over Motosurf about research and CS classes.
6. Return to SPS lounge, SPS meeting uneventful. Do E&M hw, Yujin agrees to turn it in for me. Also pound out E&M tutorial in record time. THen run over to CSE.
7. Meet w/ CaC team, then run up to study abroad info session.
8. Basically get convinced I have to go abroad. Everything that’s different about student life there vs. here is a plus for me. All exams, lots of freedom, crazy school-run events…
9. Swing lessons! Advanced we learn how to dance to slow music, which is interesting. Special rhythms for blues music, random :)
10. Intermediate is more Charleston stuff, finally learn Partner Charleston. It’s great :)
11. Team FOOD! Convince people, for once, to go to Mod, quick enough that Trevor and I can go.
12. Study in Foster for a couple hours, then back to 2104, eat ice cream, do more work, laundry, email, write this log, hit the hay.
