I paid a stack of bills. That was painful. I did the computer simulation assignment for Electronic Devices in less than two hours. Not painful at all. Now I'm wondering if Dr. ED thinks we're stupid. What's the deal with giving us an assignment we understand? None of the other professors do that. Anyway, I was feeling all accomplished after making a pretty graph of collector currents for a bipolar junction transistor. Starting my DSP homework took care of that sense of accomplishment pretty quickly. It took about an hour of thinking and reading before I understood the first problem. I still don't think I understand it. I'm glad this DSP problem set has only three problems. Only three opportunities to feel stupid this week! Actually, that's not true. I'm sure I'll have many more, because we have a big computer science homework problem set too.
The NASA internship paperwork arrived in the mail today. In addition to the acceptance form, background check form, and housing information, they sent us a bumper sticker for "Space Flight Awareness" and a nice picture of the astronauts who died in the Columbia disaster. The sticker I understand. The picture I don't.
