It's that time of the year again (time for my semi-annual post to Faldara). After quals (in January) and an initial month of internship applications, the semester was mostly about The Master's Thesis of Ultimate Awesome (TMTUA). I also managed to squeeze in a visit home (in March, shortly after my previous post), a couple of paper submissions, and the occasional class attendance. The end result is a Master's (apparently Wes has my diploma, or so he 'asserts') and a summer job at Intel, which is where I am currently.

As is my custom when catching up on several month's worth of Exciting Graduate Student Life, I will now skim. For the full effect, imagine me talking about my MS thesis throughout all of the following social events.
