Indeed it has. A fair bit has occurred since February 2007. I’ve made more good friends, I’ve seen some graduate, I made the Dean’s List for the second time in my (going on) 5 years here at Tech. Then there was that thing that happened in April. I’m not really going to harp on that too much, other than to say that I’m dealing with it in what I hope is a positive manner, and that my friends and family have been there for me (as I have for them). Things have definitely changed - [one can only hope] for the better.

I’ve been spending the summer in my apartment in Blacksburg, working two jobs. First, I’m part of an undergraduate research team with the Mobile & Portable Radio Research Group that has been researching how to use Ultra-Wideband to improve GPS in forest environments. Second, I’ve been taking measurements for the VT VLSI for Telecommunications Group that has been working on self-monitoring structures. I’ve been having fun, learning, and getting paid, all at the same time. Plus I’ve been able to hang out with my friends more often and get a jump on WUVT work. It’s been a lot better than sitting in a cube in Greensboro programming all summer.

I hope (but can’t guarantee) to update a bit more frequently. I say that all the time, but then sometimes a little thing called an Engineering Double-Major gets in the way.
