The Thermodynamics quiz was simply a disaster, though the Spanish exam went relatively well. Met with Christina in the early afternoon to go over the finishing touches on the final paper and presentation. We also discussed the possibility of introducing latex as an alternative to Microsoft Word for Digital Design Lab in the upcoming terms. Completed the final release candidate of the slides and wrote some preliminary code examples in Standard ML. Using the listings package, I then successfully imported the code into latex. Finally, Professor Callen and I mutually decided that I’ll be the first one to present for next week’s presentations. He also had the following comments to make:

You could set the tone with a stellar performance, of which you and I both know you are capable. A little stress is sometimes beneficial. It enables great performance.
