Hi family! I hope things are well. I thought Id update the blog before there are any riots. It's been a good semester so far. I'm a TA for a materials intro lab. I teach porosity, grain size, and sample preparation to a bunch of sophomores who don't care one lick. The way our lab is set up, I teach four weeks and grade the papers on my off weeks. The papers are...well...Carson could write some of them. There are plenty of good ones, but there are some stinkers too. Despite the attitude, I do actually enjoy being a TA right now. Which is good, since I have to do it again next semester. I've got a new advisor and a project that I'm looking forward to, so yay.
The football team...not so hot. We have a new coach now. We've lost several games in a row. Kinda sad.
Amy was in town this weekend. We saw a glimpse of her as she ran past. Actually, we had a lovely lunch after church on Sunday. I can't even begin to tell you how happy mom was. I go up to visit in 2 weeks. We have fall break and I have a rather open schedule at the moment, so I get to go visit. Yay!
We had a tornado or two at the beginning of the semester. It was quite scary once you realized that the tornado warning was real.
I went to Pittsburgh for a materials conference 2 weeks ago. It was quite fun and productive too. I always love a new city when I have my camera, so today's slide show will be from the conference. Enjoy!
