Music City, Here I Come!
May 17th 2007Nik AgarwalRantings
I just received word that my poster for the IERC2007 conference has been greenlit and is currently in production. This process marks the culmination of an entire semester’s worth of effort and lobbying. Now I can safely say that I am ready to rock and roll and head on down to Nashville, TN this weekend. The picture below is a quick snapshot of my poster. I know it is not much to look at, but it did take some time to make in Microsoft Publisher. Please note that the image is quite large in terms of dimensions and is a little over 600 kilobytes in size.
On a side note…
I earned a 3.83 GPA for the past semester. Here’s a quick rundown of my grades:
- ISYE310: B
- ISYE371: A
- ISYE450: A
- ISYE430T: A
- ISYE 498: A
- ENGL 104: A
All courses were 3 credit hours for a total of 18 hours. My cumulative GPA is now up to 3.8 and I still do not have an internship. How amazing is that? And yes, for the third time in a row, I will be recognized on the Dean’s List for Spring 2007.
As a way to congratulate me, my parents have decided to purchase an Apple MacBook for me. In a way, I will now be able to run my digital life amongst three different operating systems: Windows XP Professional, Ubuntu (Linux), and Mac OS X. I purchased a Dell laptop for my brother and that should be here sometime in mid June. I decided that I will get my MacBook around the same time so that both of us can open our “presents” at the same time. I know its cheesy, but my brother really earned that Dell and for me, my grades are whatever. However, I did say to myself that if I had gotten a 4.0, I would have bought the MacBook the same day. Nevertheless, do not fear my Windows-loving brethren. I am not abandoning Windows yet. In addition, I think I would rather abandon Windows for Linux than Mac OS X.
