So, in two weeks I graduate. B.S. in Physics, with minors in Mathematics and astrophysics. I have a beautiful girlfriend (Amber! :) ) - and despite an extreme amount of doubt and lack of encouragement from people who have the imagination of carrots, I still think its important to use physics as a method for thinking about the universe; i.e. the fundamental questions - what is the nature of space, what is the nature of time, and so on.
Einstein did all this a century ago, but we've only learned 'baby physics' in Modern 1 and 2 at Clarion, and no concepts at all. I discovered that is because our professors don't /know/ the concepts - and have not had Quantum Field Theory. Well, when I graduate I'm taking time off before I apply to graduate school to review calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, and all of undergraduate physics - and then I'm going to see if I can wrap my head around a grad level Quantum Field Theory book.
I can do it!!!
...I hope.
