Okay so taking 20 credits wasn't entirely in my plans... I am getting my hands into some real research. I am pulling data files from the Displaced Workers Survey Supplement to the Current Population Survey for my thesis. This involves looking at a codebook, finding the right column numbers to pull data from, and then using Stata to pull them out. Apparently it's easier with SAS but... I don't know how to use SAS. Crap.
On top of that is my original research project from the summer that I have to reconcile (aka, actually do). Although it is part of one of my classes, I definitely feel more invested in it then I would be if it were a typical class. My other classes so far don't seem like a lot of work. Oh, wait, there's the real analysis class. yeah...
On the other hand, courses for next semester - my last undergrad semester - have come out! Some out of the way classes that seem interesting so far are CS1110 with Java, and the History of Battle. Yes, the history of warfare. Hell yes.
