Graduate School @ MindSay

Hard to believe it's been eight years since 9/11/01.  I won't go so far as to say that it "seems like just yesterday," but it sure doesn't seem like eight years.  Then  again, the older I get, the faster time seems to go by... one of the grand injustices in the universe.

Alright. Anybody who actually keeps in touch with me (basically, just Carly) would know that I was set to graduate high school on 27th September. Anybody who bothers to read the dates on these entries would also know that this means I have graduated from high school.

 

Honestly, right now it doesn't seem like it's all that it's cracked up to be. Our graduation ceremony was...most unemotional. I cried all the way through it, and so did my friend Raghad. But we're a pair of pansies. Hardly anybody cried! It was strange...

 

Maybe it just doesn't feel like we've graduated because we haven't done our exams yet. See, it still hasn't hit me that we don't need to go to school anymore. It's odd, to say the least. I just feel...a little empty, that's all.

 

Well...shout-outs to the class of '007!! Love you all!! I know none of them are reading this, but that hardly matters...

 

Newest graphic that I've created:

 

 

It looks best with a white background. And I know she doesn't look dead - I turned her skin blue, but it's the first time that I've ever done it so bare with me. Anyway, l8r all.

Is a Bachelors Degree just a fancy highschool diploma?
I guess it depends on the type of Bachelors you've earned.
I guess nowadays in order to get ahead you would need to earn a Masters Degree....
However, not being much of a fan of school and still dreadfully paying back a student loan, I'm beginning to see that this is true.
I guess it also depends if there is a need for your chosen career in your city of residence.
I'm beginning to feel the limitations of my degree...
Also having friends and family members bring this to my attention by either beginning or graduating from Graduate school doesn't help either....
I can no longer live in denial and thus have began looking into Graduate Schools....yuck!
Does anyone else echo this sentiment...that a Bachelors Degree is just a fancy highschool diploma....if so let me know...either way let me know what you all think?
Peace Out.

Solid State Physics: Homework #3, problem #3.

3) Vibrations of a square lattice.
Famous Kittel problem.

You're laughing already, but I'm comfortable so far. I find Kittel's book and open it to the chapter on lattice vibrations. There are seven problems. None of these involve square lattices. Homework assignments in graduate school may always be made more challenging by forcing you to supply the right question as well as the right answer.

Presently scouring the chapter itself (I already read it once, earlier.) for the "famous" problem. If I don't find it, I shall turn to the power of Google and Wikipedia to figure out the mystery. If none of these work, I will ask in class tomorrow. So there.
