Surely that'd be the Eve of the Eve of New Years?

And welcome back.

The past few days I've been on my computer playing Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance. Just yesterday, I got the key code right and installed Dragon Age: Origins.

I'm lovin' it!

I died more then ten times today, lol.

I'm itching to see the Romance option.

I think I have a thing for Morrigan.

It kinda reminds of me of Project: Rainstorm aka my senior project.

Time to put down for my aeronautical mathematics course.

Wth is "Aeronautical mathematics?"

Sounds more like vector fields and approximations out the wazoo.

probably all the aerospace crap i had to learn to attempt a flight model in scripting

Vector fields maybe if it was a higher level course.

The stuff in my particular course is Year 11/12 maths course stuff applied to aviation, regarding things like top speeds, drag curves, take off/landing distances, max altitude etc. Idea is to engage blokes who usually aren't into mathsy kind of things at all to bring up their quals to enter places like the RAAF. Has a fairly good track record and I know a number of pilots who are currently in who've done it to repeat their maths after having failed or gotten a crap grade. (A lot more than you think, not a surprise when you consider the kind of people who usually make the best pilots).

But yes, sounds interesting!

I'm kind of surprised anyone would actively pursue a degree in physics without the ultimate goal of staying in academia. Outside of universities and national labs, there is very little demand for physics majors. And in order to be competitive in either of those arenas, you pretty much need to go all the way to the PhD + 1 or 2 post-docs. I know there are other places for physics majors to find employment, but I'd be hard pressed to find any of them.

Well, my original plan/dream was to go into academia, but...things didn't work out that way, for a number of reasons. That's left me sitting here with a B.S. and looking for work. From the statistics I've seen from sources like the American Institute of Physics, though, over half of physics undergrads go straight out of college into employment in the industry, so I'm hardly the only person in this situation.

Stormed my way through Pacific Crucible by Ian W. Toll. Pretty good read detailing the period between Pearl and the victory at Midway.

No excuse to not get a new years kiss from a female co-worker. One of the only times its acceptable to approach a female outside of a club or bar and do so is NYE

I'm going to try nuke someone on Supreme Commander at the right moment of midnight. I doubt that will happen though.
