A Refreshing Vacation - Now Back to School!
We are all back from our semester break. I say break because most of us in the part time program also work full time -- some of us probably didn't take any vacation (I was fortunate enough to take two weeks off). Nevertheless, it was great to have some time off to catch up on work, to run procrastinated errands, and of course, rest.
I took the Christmas weekend to drive up north with my family to see the Humboldt County Redwoods... it rained on the days I was there. However, seeing these enormous giants that stood still and haven't changed for decades and centuries was amazing. I guess it provides some balance to the life of the computer scientist, in which technology changes very rapidly.
Carnegie Mellon's Winter break is roughly around four weeks. As I recall, the Spring and Summer breaks are two weeks shorter. This worries me a little bit, but maybe we'll be so busy there will be no time to worry. It'll be full steam ahead starting from here.
It's the start of the new semester! For us in the part time Software Engineering Masters 2011 program, we are taking "Software Requirements". I don't have much to say about the class now, but in a few weeks, when the course work really starts taking off, I'll write more. Thanks for reading!

Hello Anthony,
Iam an undergraduate student who will be graduating in december. I will be applying to CMU SV for MS in SE program. I have been reading your blogs for months and I must say I have gained such valuable knowledge about the university and the program. I have no doubts that I have the best program that I wish to join.It has been my uttermost priority. If its convinient for you, I would like to ask you few questions that can help me get an idea into the admissions process. I believe the blog might not be a good place for you to discuss this. So if its ok with you we can get in touch over email.
Thank you
