My most fascinating class this semester is my first university level liberal arts elective, macroeconomics, taught by the infamous Larry Smith.  I have my first midterm in macroeconomics tomorrow, which is noteworthy because up until now, all my midterms have been on engineering or math subjects.  I’m interested in comparing the relative difficulty of the classes.  Up until this midterm, macroeco has been by far my easiest class because I had no homework.  Tonight I spent about three and half hours preparing, and I plan to spend a couple more tomorrow.  This is comparable to my weekly effort put into each calculus and algebra.

On an unrelated note, today I had an interview with Genesys Communications Laboratories, a part of Alcatel-Lucent.  The job is for a research position in mobile software.  It’s the first time the positions been offered, so my interviewer Adrian warned me that the daily job activity would be uncertain and in flux.  He didn’t know what specific platforms or technologies I would work with if chosen.  Still, it’s an exciting opportunity.

Finally, findthehotties.com has been hacked (again), but, have no fear, for at some future, undefined point in time, we’ll fix the exploit!
