Someone remind me...

[Poli]

why I'm taking this Electronic Systems course through Southern Illinois University? I'm on my lunch break, and just sat through the first four hours of class.

We breezed through 50% of the stuff we teach in my schoolhouse (Apprentice Technical Training. Basic electronics for the Navy) in those four hours. I don't actually instruct at the schoolhouse, so concepts are flying past me like crazy. I remember some of it from my days as a sailor/student (8 years ago), and some from just walking around the schoolhouse, but mercy. I'm not liking this right now.

And really, isn't that reason enough?

Well, my first weekend is over. Things slowed down in the second half of the day and today. We had a 45 question quiz that I think I did well on.

I have a research paper due in four weeks, which should be interesting. I haven't done anything like this since about 1993. I probably didn't do it back then, either.

Well, I aced the first quiz, and I think I aced the second, which I took yesterday. My paper is going to be on organic light emitting diodes.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Actually some cool stuff coming up with OLEDs. From what I understand, they're already in use in smaller devices (cameras, cell phones). In the future, you could see some crazy stuff, like a big screen tv that folds up like a newspaper.

Update: My wife broke her ankle and tore ligaments in the surrounding area, so I'm home taking care of her, and missing my final exam with SIU over solid-state devices. My instructor emailed me the test. I think I'll ace this one. :)

Anyone want a peek? ;)

I just want rocket packs so I can fly around.

Didn't we just go through something like this a few months back?

Actually, I'm thinking AE's wife had back trouble (or something) that had her on the IR for a while back in the spring/early summer.

Your wife doesn't play for the Patriots by any chance...

No thank you. I don't need to see your wife's ankle...

[Poli]

Actually, my wife tore a ligament in the same ankle sometime in January or February.

I would. How many electronic Techs are on this forum? 3 maybe?
