School
Wednesday, August 30th, 2006The end of my summer was very busy, I went to New York for a night, Ocean City for 3 days, Key West for 5 days, went home to Bellevue, spent a week in California visiting family, spent a week at home and now I am back at school in Bozeman. Working at NASA was a lot of fun, my boss offered me a job working for him next summer but I need to decide if NASA is the place for me.
Classes started on Monday and so far they seem like they will be interesting. I am taking CS425 Computer Graphics, EE371 Microcontrollers, MATH225 Differential Equations and ENGL123 Intro to Literature. None of my teachers wasted any time in giving out homework so I have been busy. In addition, I started work at a bioinformatics lab on campus. Currently I am doing Linux system administration for them, setting up servers and making sure everything is working properly. Eventually after I learn a little bit more biology, I will be working on the code for the lab. The code searches for and records genetic retroid agents in the human genome as well as other genomes. It is pretty interesting stuff, although most of it is above my head. They want me to work 20 hours a week. Between classes, homework, cooking my own food and work I will have very little spare time.
