Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Mother Nature decided to shift the weather back to fall after our yearly Halloween snowstorm. I suppose you could call it flannel season. It's not cold enough for the heavy coat yet too cold for just a t-shirt. So, a flannel overtop takes care of everything. What did we do this week? Amanda didn't have to go off on professors that didn't hold up their end of the grading for a group project. I don't know if this is good or bad. It would have been interesting to see what happened if she had to bring her assertiveness to the table. If she ever gets tired of building devices in the future, she could make...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Today is the time change and while I'm sure several will be enjoying another hour of sleep, I get to enjoy another hour of craft! It's not really another hour as time is a social construct. I will enjoy getting to see the sun rise more often. What did we do this week? Amanda is in the slog portion of the semester with due dates almost every day. She believes that her Circuits exam went well and gets to register for her final undergraduate semester on Monday. I am hoping the new class we found called The Psychology of Games is interesting. Letters of rec have been requested and applications for graduate programs will be...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The weather shifted from fall to winter abruptly this weekend. I broke out the fuzzy slippers and am wearing my pashmina afghan as shawl looking out on the snowy weather. No surprise to any of us that have lived here for years, as it is Halloween weekend. In Colorado, your winter coat is a part of your costume! What did we do this week? To apply to the co-term program at RPI as a BME major, Amanda had to create a plan and gather documents for approval. She got the go ahead this week and will be officially applying. I hope that she has also gotten to her letters of rec requests out to professors...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Fall is back in the air today after a week of too warm weather. It should not reach 80* in October! I will admit that I am not ready for snow however long sleeves, or a sweater would be a welcome change. What did we do this week? Amanda survived her round of midterms tackling three exams, Neuroscience, Finite Elements, and BME lab. She also used her baking skills to treat a fellow RA for his birthday. This week will be recovery, requesting letters of rec from professors and supervisors, and the start of the design project for BME. I am glad that I understand the science parts of what she wants to do and...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! I am loving the fall weather. It has finally gotten cold enough at night to close the window, wear slippers and even turn the heat on. I hope it stays this way for a few weeks before bringing the snow. Long sleeves, comfy sweater, snuggly blankets, it just feels good. What were we up too this week? Amanda has been spending her time preparing for three exams coming up. It's always fun when they cluster together. Thankfully her box of cookies, tortillas, and green chile arrived in one piece without anything breaking this time. The last package looked like it was drop kicked from Colorado to New York and she had cookie dust instead of...
