I’m doing a presentation on CCDs (the sensors that make digital cameras work) for one of my classes so I went to the research group I was working for two years ago and dug up my logbook. I was doing some research related to CCDs so I figured I’d find something useful, at very least a good description of the technology I remember reading. My logbook makes for rather amusing reading. Apparently, I spent the entire summer in a state of anguish over the fact that I didn’t actually know what I was doing. At one point I actually have “Ahh!” written. I credit this experience as helping to convince me I don’t actually like research and thus have no interest in graduate studies. Spending al day sitting in front of a computer and banging my head on the table lacks a certain appeal.

In other news, I recently realized all of my seven classes have group work in them. All seven.
