My Classes

I just realized that it's been a long time since I told you all what classes I was taking, and so since I'm taking different classes now I thought I would tell you what I was whining about. Here is my schedule:

Electromagnetism 3: The final quarter of a year-long sequence, this quarter we get to study stuff like electromagnetic waves, charges in motion, and relativistic effects. It's all stuff I've seen before, but on a much more rigorous level.

Statistical Mechanics: I get to do icky things in here too. Actually it's not quite as icky as quantum mechanics or electromagnetism has been in quarters past, at least in my opinion.

High-Energy Astrophysics: A class that meets twice a week, where we sit around and learn about x-ray astronomy.

Astronomy Observing: In this class we get to actually observe stuff. We spend time learning how to use our telescope and how to use the various computer programs available to help reduce and analyze the data we collect. I'll be looking at some open clusters for my project in here.

Anyway, that is my schedule. If I ever forget to say stuff like that even though I'm whining about it constantly, remind me.
