I went to a cmu alumni presentation on maglev, which I half paid attention to while browsing the web. (God I love wireless =) It was interesting. It’s down to pittsburgh and baltimore for this, and the company bidding for it for pittsburgh sounds fairly confident that we’ll get it; can I get anyone a salt shaker for that? All sorts of details and logistics, mostly for the construction, very little of the underlying physics was mentioned. I was hoping for more on that angle, but I guess I should have paid more attention in E&M, for that \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
Signed up for my summer and fall courses (spanish I, and creative writing over the summer, intro civ e and intermediate microeconomics in the fall, on the waitlists for the fall courses =P)<\/p>\n
I’m finding myself thinking that pittsburgh really isn’t so bad. It’s good to get out on a regular basis, go to chicago, or dc, or even sf occasionally. And maybe I could stick around for awhile. We have some nice neighborhoods, a few great schools, good parks, a public transportation system that isn’t much worse than any other mostly rail-less town, some resources for me as a vegetarian, a dating pool that has its moments, and roots. <\/p>\n
And the roots grow with every day. <\/p>\n
