I was out the door by 9 AM and spent the morning working on Assignment 1 for my Finite Element Method (FEM) course.

As usual, we had our group meeting at 1 PM with Victor, Jason, Kourosh, and me. At the end of the meeting, Victor asked to have a one-on-one session with me at 4 PM.

The weather lately has been wonderful and mild, making it feel as though spring is just around the corner.

During our meeting, Victor took the time to learn more about my academic background and shared some of his thoughts. While we didn’t land on a substantive research topic yet, it was a positive step toward defining my research goals.

I finally finished and submitted the assignment at midnight.

On a sad note, I lost my favorite wooden spoon today. I’m actually quite upset about it.
