takin' care of business

I'm currently workin' on some common-base transistor electronix problems.

Takes me some time of staring at the circuit diagram before I can begin computing. I wish there was a physics help room around here...

Thanks. This would be extremely helpful if I wasn't so horrible/afraid of programming....

The reason why I am even in electronics in the first place (chem major) is because I have to retake just 1 class for my major that I recieved a poor grade in.

The class was a programming course where we used mathematica to make programs that would solve complex-ish chemical systems.

I still have nightmares to this day...

I'm going over my calc midterm (the prof put the solutions online). I have no idea what happened. This test really was not that tough and I knew how to do most of the stuff. I just freaked out and couldn't think. Second guessed stuff that I knew, etc. All a learning experience.

Pretty amped about going down to Puerto Rico today, it will be nice getting away from work and no riding down there since I never get motivated to travel with a bike. It's just as well I suppose because I wouldn't mind a break from riding almost everyday; I have to be mindful of food intake since so much of the food there is deep fried.

my first thought as well. Those rocks will probably be pretty slippery in high heels. Not to mention the wedding dress getting wet.

Will do. After all of the chaotic nonsense I've had to deal with at work for the past week I'll have cuba libres for everyone in the 33.

Nice pic and location. Are you and your fiance getting married in the Fall? The foliage would be beautiful for pics.

Getting married Sunday.

Damn you guys are rough.

OK. We're getting married exactly here, after walking across the bridge.

looks beautiful. Congrats. Will you be posting during the honeymoon? Keeping us updated?

Where is the honeymoon anyway? That's the part of the wedding that's actually fun.

You should ALWAYS take advantage of extra help for any subject. To hell with your pride, use your common sense. Smart people know when to ask for help and how to find it. You will do this in the business world so tell your pride to take a hike.

We have quite a few covered bridges here in Western MA, but that one doesn't look familiar. I'm guessing Vermont.

Enjoy your special day, gsteinb. Best wishes and good luck in the future.

We got married in the forest under some pine trees. A friend played acoustic guitar and the ceremony was read by a friend who was a masters road champion. It was cool.
