First Things First!

This is my new blog! My previous blog was tarobum27.blogspot.com
This blog (you're reading now) is attached to my new Google account, and I could not wait for the geniuses at Google to allow me to transfer blog accounts from one Google account to another. Ah, the wonders of technology.

My first semester back at school has gone pretty well. It's great to see familiar faces again - it is almost like when you come home from college to see friends from high school, but the time spend between them is far longer - and there is a significant time difference. And international phone calls are not cheap.
Classes-wise there has only been one significant bump. Professor Ehrenberg, who teaches the economics of education class I was taking this semester, took a nasty fall last week so he will not be able to teach the class. Unfortunately, I had to scramble to make a new schedule. I ended up taking two new classes to compensate for the one class I dropped. It made plenty of sense at the time, but I hope to be able to take the workload this semester. The last time I tried to take 18 credits at Cornell, I dropped a class. I do not want to drop any of my classes this semester, particularly with my fiasco with linear algebra last spring.

Well, here's to a smooth running rest of the semester!
