A friend of mine mentioned to me last night (ie, a few hours ago) that I had not yet posted grade predictions for my most recent quarter. Thanks to her reminder, I am now correcting this oversight.
Biochemistry (BioC 405): 3.0
Computational Bioengineering (BioEn 485): 3.9
Neural Engineering (BioEn 499C): 3.9
Advanced Digital Design (CSE 467): 4.0
Stupidtown (aka Biochem 405) ends in 10 hours. I can’t wait!
On Thursday I promised my physical therapist that I would make it into the gym before our next visit. So, while taking a brief break from The Project on Sunday, I headed to the IMA for a little bit of a workout. I was pleasantly surprised with how far I’ve come in just the couple of weeks.
Not long ago, my hamstrings could barely lift my own lower leg at all. A week ago, I couldn’t curl even 25 pounds. Sunday, 25 pounds was difficult, but I was able to curl it 10 times for three sets without overexerting myself. Now, two days later, I’m feeling the first “good pain” that my legs have felt in a long time — the achy muscle pains of gaining back muscle tone and strength to my atrophied right leg.
It has been a good start to the week in other ways as well. My CSE partner Remington’s work last night and this morning secured a 4.0 for us in our CSE class, and my physical therapist cleared me for riding my bike today. So for the first time in a long time, I rode my bike to school. It felt good, but next time I’m wearing my long fingered gloves :-).
For anyone wondering where I was, I was underground:
Friday 4:30-12:30
Saturday 6:00-1:00
Sunday 11:00-12:30
Monday 10:30-7:00
Result: 36 hours, 3.4 –> 3.9 in CSE 467
After autumn quarter’s travesty of a schedule, this is looking mighty delectable!
Probably I will go into work Tuesday-Thursday afternoons.

Also, running out of time on the big CSE project and two new BioE projects are just starting…
Hopefully this is the only post with this title for a good long time… at any rate, today my Mom is picking me up at 10:30, and I report to the UWMC Surgery Pavillion at 11:15. About 4 or 5 hours later I should be leaving with some sort of drug high, my new knee brace and icing cuff, and some newly installed ACL-like tissue in my knee.
I’d like to thank all of my recent well-wishers; I really do appreciate the support you’ve all offered and given.
Finally, the Biochem test this morning was an unmitigated disaster. I did enjoy the bike ride there and back, though — it will be my last for a long time.
