August 10th, 2010 - First Days at UT

UT is a very, very different place than CMU. It is surprising for how large a university it is how much computer labs they don't have.  Perhaps I don't know enough about UT to accurately compare, but at UT there are ~60 printers, and at CMU there are 22.  At CMU there are 23 computer clusters, at UT there are 22.  UT also doesn't offer UNIX support.

I haven't actually started doing lab work yet, and it is starting to annoy me.  The NE department is holding mini-course days, so Dr. Miller is unavailable.  Just been doing some readings. 

I am working on making my apartment amazing.  I bought a sweet desk for $20 that has a purple top.  It is awesome!

I have had to drastically cut back the miles I have been running.  I tried to run last evening, but only made it about two miles before dying.  This morning I got in three before dying.  I need to drink a lot more water than I am used too - with humidity yesterday's high was 104 F, and today's is supposed to be 105 F.  Just not used to running in this type of heat and humidity.
