I am writing this from a very high bunk
Summer has started again, and life is, as always, busy. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever settle down and have a normal life. One where I’m not rushing from thing to thing, and I’ll be able to savor the things that I have. I got back to Boston last Saturday, and and my life has been a whirlwind since then. Unpacking, groceries, and cooking for food (yikes, I’m really starting to feel the whole lack of a dining hall situation). Since then, my schedule has migrated to a stable point, but I still feel sometimes that there just isn’t enough time in the day, to do everything I want to do.
So, what am I doing this summer? Well, at the highest level, I’m searching for what I’m interested in in theoretical computer science. More specifically, I’m a summer UROP student for Professor Scott Aaronson. He gives me problems to think about, and I think about them. Other times, I’m reading papers and the good ole wikipedia to try and see what else is out there, and what would be interesting to try. This life is not too bad, though the feeling of not being able to solve a problem is pretty terrible. I guess this summer is, you could say, me trying to figure out if I would be all right with grad school.
Oh, well. It’s 12:30, and I’m getting tired. I’ll try not to neglect this page as much as I have been…
