I took my final exam for CS 1604 – Introduction to the Internet today. I got an A, and I’m now done with the class. Wednesday, I have my Statistics for Electrical Engineers final, and then I have my last two finals (Microprocessor System Design and Numerical Methods) on Friday. One more week, baby! I […]
On Sunday, nlcf joined with Campus Crusade, Athletes in Action, Cornerstone, and Blacksburg United Methodist Church (think Wesley Foundation) for a combined Easter service in Burruss Auditorium. Some of the featured speakers included student athletes and coaches, including football’s head coach Frank Beamer. The Collegiate Times wrote an article about Beamer’s participation in the service, […]
It’s been a busy last few days. Between meeting with a lot of people (mostly on vtONE stuff), two tests no one was prepared for, and a random afternoon in Roanoke, I’ve kept busy. Here’s a short recap: Monday: studying for numerical methods test Tuesday: numerical methods test, two homework assignments that I wasn’t aware […]
I’m very busy at the moment, so sorry for the blog slience. I’m presenting to the Christian Faculty Fellowship today and I have a big micro project due Monday that I need to do a lot of work on. Also, the last week has been teaching me how to pray. I should be back next […]
I had this strong desire to write a few specific things in one of my (paper) journals. I get the journal out and discover I’ve lost my good pen. I then realize how bad tomorrow would have been if I had gone through all my classes without a proper writing implement. It’s small things like […]

I’ve now been to all my classes once. Here’s a course review: NUMERICAL ANALYSIS: this class doesn’t seem too bad, but the lecture is in a hot room and the professor is Indian with a very low monotone. It has weekly homework, but I can put up with it since it’s my only TR class […]
So once again the university partially cancelled exams due to weather. My last exam that should have been at 7:45 this morning is now at 7:45 tomorrow morning. Thankfully, the professor is allowing us to take it at 3pm today, so it won’t throw off my snowshoe plans. I still have one project to finish […]

The semester is almost over! I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. These last two weeks are still crazy for me. I have 3 projects still to do (one with full technical report), a homework assignment, a test, and five finals. It should be crazy, but this semester will be […]
