Update

I haven't posted in awhile, but I'm back now. Christmas break was fun, it was good to relax, but it was just too long. It is good to be back doing work stuff again. Unfortunately, my teaching load has been increased from 3 to 4 classes, giving me 100 students this semester. This probably won't seem like a lot to some people I know though. I teach from 8am to noon on Thursdays and Fridays. I don't like the 8am labs. Not only do I have to get up really early to be coherent by 8am, but my students in the 8am labs work more slowly than students at other times, and sometimes they don't complete the lab. I also got some student who asked me "do I have to show up for lab?" Lazy bum. I'm also tired of seeing my student's buttcracks. They really need to learn about belts.

I'm taking Quantum Mechanics 2 and Particle Physics 1. The latter I'm taking even though I'm missing a prerequisite. It's going to be a bit of work, but I really enjoy the topic so far. I think I'm going to try to get a research job in High Energy Physics.

Your "lazy bum" student reminds me of myself. I had a computer science class with a lab, and I asked the TA if I had to attend. He said, "yes." That was the last day I attended.
