Well, my first week in the imaging lab has come and gone. The week was mostly about getting a homework set finished and turned in on Thursday. I'm spending a lot of my time re-learning imaging and signals/systems. These are courses that I took about 6-7 years ago at Hopkins so I've forgotten a lot of these things. Fortunately, as I spend time studying the material, some of it is coming back to me.

Throughout this week, my mind has gone through a spectrum of thoughts and emotions. The primary one, related to my schooling and recent lab switch is, "oh man, what have I done?" Because by switching labs, I have without a doubt extended my stay here at UT and also Austin. However, as I calmly think about it, I have to keep telling myself that this is a good move for me. Not only will it place me in a better position for an engineering career later on, but it also allows me to stay in Austin for a little while longer. That's good news for me because of the things outside of school that I am involved in. Right now things are a bit stressful because I need to get spun up on all the background related to imaging research. It's tough, but hopefully it won't take too much time.

I'm currently occupying a spot in ENS 631. In a few weeks, I'll be able to move into the actual office space for the lab. That's when I'll be able to put your calculator in jello:)
