The past two weeks or so has been very grueling work at graduate school. Sleep was a luxury. I finished most of my courses well, however. I got an ‘A’ in statistical mechanics, and ‘A-’ in quantum mechanics, and ‘A’ in a research methods course, and a ‘B-’ in classical electrodynamics. Whew! I am so glad to be done. I have been with family since Thursday night, which has been quite relaxing and refreshing. Sometimes I feel lonely in St. Louis. It takes a while to make good friends. And in case you were wondering, no, I haven’t found a wife yet; I suspect it will be quite sometime before that happens 🙂
God has been very faithful and kind to me in my transition to St. Louis. The family that I have been staying with (Andrew and Pamela Shaw) has been very helpful in getting acclimated to my new situation. God has also given me the energy to endure the demanding schedule of graduate school. Hopefully I know the rhythm of graduate school well enough now that I won’t have to skimp out on sleep. I am so grateful for all of your prayers.
