I got a job!

Or, at least a job that doesn't involve teaching. I am a research assistant now, and will be writing code for a project at Fermilab that will involve smashing protons into hydrogen, deuterium, and heavy nuclear targets to make precise measurements on the anti-quark sea. This will be much more satisfying than teaching I think.

Lots of homework has kept me from doing anything really interesting. My Quantum 2 professor is awesome, but the homework is really hard. The homework in Particle Physics is getting a bit difficult as well, as the last batch of homework included a problem than no one in the entire class was capable of solving. It is stuff I need to know for the field I'm going into though, so it isn't that bad. And after this semester, I will be mostly done with classes. I need two more, which I will probably take at a rate of one per semester while working on research.

When the summer hits, I should have a little more free time. I'll be working full time, which will mean I'll have most weekends free. I will take advantage of this to visit my friends who I haven't seen in a while.
