Things here in Iowa are allright, cold as usual. The wind is the worst, as I am sure you are aware, it seemed especially bitter today, not sure why.

Oh and I am majoring in Materials engineering. Nanotechnology and all that. I am particularly interested in electronics (quantum mechanics and such). We are a pretty small department. My class (junior) has around 50 people in it or so. Yeah, that Am. Indians guy definitely had an agenda, it was unbearable. And I have had some biased professors before. I was taking that class for my "diversity requirement". Ugggg, I should've known better I guess. I thought it would be interesting, silly me.

Nanotechnology firms are supposed to be the big up-and-coming investment op in the next decade (so I'm told).

Do you think that's the case?

Sounds like an interesting major; have you read "Prey" by Michael Crichton? It's about nanotechnology. Very interesting. I learned a lot. Kind of scary!

Yep, the wind was bitter here too, even tho it was sunny. It was much, much worse tho Friday night and Saturday.

I can't wait to hear what kind of class you're going to take now to fill your "diversity requirement"!
