Last day of in-class driving school!

After my reply to Dr. Newcomb's email, he sent me a link to a design/simulation program for circuit development to work with and learn until I can get them in person.

Wow, I just discovered that my friend Ashley is an artist!

The Dean has confirmed my ID and UMD email account so that I've legal permission to be on campus. Specifically, they used language along the lines of 'being approved as an affiliate.' (!) I can pick up my ID card the next time I go there, which I informed Dr. Newcomb wouldn't be very immediate because of my need to complete Ch. 1/2.

I met with Dr. Newcomb today and was very impressed with the atmosphere of his office and surrounding areas of research. We discussed a little about what the nature of my project would be and settled on kinetic energy's conversion into electrical energy. I also got signed up for a UMD ID and email account

My parents and I have come to the compromise of me going to UMD for at least two years befor making up my mind to move to Cornell or another school in NYC.

Ms. Bell contacted me to inform me of a successful match with ECE Professor, Dr. Robert Newcomb! She says that he has a lot of experience with interns so I should feel right at home with him. Now I must get started on Chapters 1/2 even in spite of the little time left in this quarter.

Fellow RP Intern, Vasco Mateus did me the service of showing the format with which he did his Chapters One and Two as we are both in the Engineering track and each track has slightly different parameters as far the information included goes.
