I am IMMERSEd

Well, I’ve been in Nebraska for a little over a month now, and things are going all right.  Lincoln is great. I recently started the Nebraska IMMERSE program, which has been an adventure, to say the least. I just need to remember that IMMERSE is not identical to grad school, and so if I’m sick […]

The New Blog

Welcome to the new mkjanssen.com blog: mkjanssen.com/blog. I am currently in the midst of rearranging the site such that the blog will become secondary to http://www.mkjanssen.com/. However, it is hoped that making the blog secondary will actually result in posting at a greater frequency.
More later!

Moving

Hey folks. You’re probably only getting here through an old RSS feed, because mkjanssen.com redirects to my new website. The blog is moving to http://www.mkjanssen.com/blog, so update the bookmarks! I have plans to post more than I have in the recent past, so check back often!
Thanks,
Mike

I am going to go in my room and cry now.

Riemann Sphere

I learned about the Riemann Sphere tonight in Complex Analysis.
I like my classes this semester. That’s nice. Even Classical Mechanics might be OK.
I don’t know where I’m going to school yet next fall. For one, I’ve yet to hear anything official, and for another, I’m not sure whether I’d pick UNL or ISU were I […]

Vermillion on Wikipedia

I don’t know how long this will be up there, but someone (I think a Vermillion High School student) edited the Vermillion, SD article on Wikipedia. It’s kinda funny, if only to see Wikipedia at its worst.

I love tutoring

Today I tutor in the math department tutor lab from 1-5. I haven’t seen anyone in 25 minutes (nor did I see anyone this morning). I should be reading or working on my thesis or something, but I’m not.
Only nine more days ’til finals are done….

Urinetown

Last night, a friend of mine and I went to see USD’s production of Urinetown — The Musical.  Has anyone ever heard/seen it? It’s got to be the funniest show I’ve seen in a long time. Kudos to the cast, and the new Musical Theatre director (and the new choreographer).
Bloody hilarious.

I am a blog loser

Thanks, MEG. I appreciate it. But you can’t deny the truth of some things.
First off, USD is officially going to begin transitioning to Division I athletics. I’m going to say that it seems like a strange move to me (I’m not sure Vermillion can handle it, among other things), but it’s been studied for […]
