    High school really prepared me for college, I took a lot of AP and honors classes that made me bust some ass so my freshman year I ended up with a 3.8 while everyone else was ing about their 2.0 because they didn't have any "ethic". And scheduling is the worst/best part of college. Making sure you have those breaks in between will save anyone from a ish semester.
    I took all those classes in high school and they were still a joke. Maybe my real issue with what was hard in college was just those core subject classes/things I didn't feel interested in because they served no purpose. I actually really enjoyed this semester (with the exception of His of Colonial America....that class sucked horribly), since I took classes that were in the main section of my major/had to do with sports.

    Yeah, those AP classes were pretty easy. By senior year I was never showing up for 1st period (Art 4), and when I did, I'd just show up with a few tacos for the teacher. I had to show up for second period, then after that I would leave. I had work study and I was in close with the people in the attendance office. It was just that easy. Always buddy up to people in a position of power. I never understood teh mentality of these peopel that try to act like a hard ass with someone that is their superior.

    15 pages on "thou?" Did you get to include "thee" and "thine" in that? Did you reference that Nordic letter that looks like a 'b' on top of a 'p'?

    Really, that still blows my mind.

    You're going to have to post that bad boy somewhere. Was this for some sort of lingiustics class?

    Yeah. My schizophrenia one was complex, but that one sounds like it would be pretty hard to drag out without any BS.

    Get a degree in math- no papers- just piles and piles of problems. Hardest class- far and away- three-dimensional differential calculus.

    I hardly had to write any papers during college. Yay for a Multimedia degree!

    I've written tons for me, and tons for my brother who was the baseball star at St. Mary's around the same time (). I'd won a place in this scholarship conference thing OLLU had each of my 3 years there...on papers written about the Virgin Mary, the History of Drawing, and some other one I can't remember, but none that seemed really that long or that complicated.

    I love writing, and I'm very good at it...but yay for an accounting degree, too!

    This is going to sound strange...but I'm not entirely sure...

    Basically, the work is going to involve using Bayesian analysis to derive topologies for certain gene regulatory networks.

    The Bayesian theory I can handle (degree's in EE). It's the biology that I'm having to teach myself.

    Now you know how I feel when certain people start talking about 70 thousand foot high storm tops.

    I usually counterract complicated weather jargon here with some sort of obscure history reference

    Let me try again...though I don't know if I'll make it any better (my biology isn't so good...I'll probably up the explanation)...

    Proteins are created in the body due to the interaction of genes in the presence of environmental factors. Certain genes directly control the (eventual) creation of certain proteins. Some genes act as controllers for other genes...turning them on/up, or off/down.

    Even though the majority of the human genome has been decoded, that doesn't mean we know what they all do or how they interact with each other.

    Experiments can be conducted to measure what's known as "gene expression" due to certain environmental factors. Even then, all the measurement shows is a series of levels for certain substances. It doesn't show how they got there...which gene expressed/controlled another. Also, the measurements are not perfect. In fact, they're quite noisy. Further, even if we knew piece-wise which gene did what, that doesn't mean we could deterministically figure out a particular sequence of input to output...there's just too many combinations. So we try to figure things out probabilistically.

    Bayesian theory is a way to use prior estimates and data with current estimates and data to produce (hopefully) better estimates. In this case, the end product of the analysis would be estimates of the network structure of a particular gene interaction (in other words...given a certain input, an estimate of which genes, in which order, at what magnitude, interacted to produce that particular output).

    In my case, my first task is to find a way to combine several sets of dissimilar data into a model which would (hopefully) predict network paths better than current models do.

    That sounds really interesting travis. I had a feeling it was just a system of arranging gene expression.

    Get it right, erik...it's geek. Any turd with delusions of adequacy can be a nerd, but it takes a EE to be a gEEk...
