Sorry

Hate to say I told you so, but the headline of the Boston Metro was "Man kills himself and family due to financial markets"

See my blog two spots down. It's getting ugly.

football

definately pulled a muscle in my leg after im's today, am getting old and need to stretch, oops
i should be good in a couple days

market

dont take this the wrong way, but at what point do people on wall street start committing suicide?

i say that because it happened in the 30's, right?

market

does anyone else not like to what the market these days?

thesis

found some good papers on langrangian optimization which i may be able to use, im still trying to figure out how to formulate my problem (which is actually probably the biggest part) and then i will be able to figure out formulas, etc

update

Things are well. School is in full swing, i have about 1 or 2 problem sets due every week and they always take quite a bit of time. I prefer to do them by myself because I get to choose my schedule but many of them are in teams so thats always a challenge

my fantasy football team is 2-1, in a league of 12 teams all from the mlog program

pset and stuff

Finished my big problem set, took about 20 hours, there are many events around campus...

like please join in welcoming His Excellency Paul Kagame, president of the Republic of Rwanda, to campus at 3:30 pm tomorrow, Thursday, September 18. President Kagame will deliver a Compton lecture on the role of science and technology in accelerating African and Rwandan development.

have appointment with the foot doc tomorrow, hope all goes well

Hooray

its been progressively worse weather lately, ill spend today doing errands (taking my jacket to a tailor to get the arms shortened) doing a problem set and otherwise lounging around
i also think ill play the guitar a bit

Boo!

The seahawks were a big disappointment although I had Matt Forte on my fantasy team which turned out to be forte-uitous

Taking a break

Just for fun, here is a picture of the entiat river from this summer.

today

registered for classes today (see below) and got an MRI on my left foot, which has been bothering me for months and months
I have a follow up next week to see what's up.

Also, classes start tomorrow! Woo hoo (or boo hoo)
Wish me luck.

Courses

Tentative course list for fall:

Engineering Systems Analysis for Design, Analytical Methods; Logistics Systems; Databases, Internet, and System Integration; Power and Negotiation, Know Thyself Leadership Workshop

These total 54 credit hours (min is 36, max is 60)

thesis

Thesis: Been working on my thesis topic alot lately, ill keep all the anxious listeners posted when i decide and start work :)

guitar

so i bought an epiphone sg-310 guitar with a 15W amp for like 150 bucks last week
thats a pretty sweet deal and now i have something to play with

hopefully i can find a place to play sometime this year because I have always wanted to give playing a shot

here is my official mlog photo, to be used for resume's etc.

Done! (Almost)

So i was debating keeping this blog up and have decided to give it a shot.
Had our final test today, so we are done! Except for a presentation and a righting test tomorrow (ha,ha, get it?) I hop I passe.

Real classes start next week, so this weekend I will be deciding my schedule. The base courseload is 39 credit hours, and the max allowable is 60. I have scheduled 60 right now but will probably drop some a few weeks into classes once I am overwhelmed.

The Beer Game

Try to play this fun game! The goal is to keep total costs as low as possible. You can play with one person and the computer will automatically fill in the other 3 characters choices. All you have to do is choose whether you want to be a retailer, distributor, warehouse, or manufacturer and choose how many cases of beer you order/make each week.

At least there are 4 seasons?

My old place versus my new digs. Unfortunately, this is a picture of what I have to look forward to in the near future.

The MLOG program begins in 24 hours, dun dun dun. Stay tuned for updates.
