amigos,

ya me quedan mas o menos 4 meses en monterey y sigo aqui trabajando en mi tesis sobre movimiento de carga en nano-alambres, solucionando diferentes problemas, haciendo experimentos y simulaciones numericas. en julio nos mudamos todos a charleston y comenzamos la escuela de ingenieria nuclear.

sigo en lo mio, tratando de vivir lo maximo aqui, tomando te, leyendo mucho, calificandome de paracaidista y haciendo todo tipo de otras actividades fisicas. tambien me he interesado mucho en la logica simbolica en estos dias y mi objectivo para algun futuro lejano es poder leer y entender el trabajo de gödel... tambien sigo trabajando en mi tabla de surf que ahora esta en su fase artistica antes de ponerle fibra de vidrio.

la comunidad internacional aqui en monterey es pequeña pero he conocido varias personas muy cheveres de bosnia y lituania, tambien he pasado buenos tiempos con otros compañeros de la academia naval que se graduaron conmigo. mis compañeros de casa siguen bien y mi compañero de cuarto de la academia, justin, se va a casar en abril y soy el hombre de honor... mi otro compañero de cuarto de la academia, oz, acabo de dar la noticia que el y su esposa esperan un hijo en octubre!

friends,

i have about 4 months left at postgraduate school here in monterey and i am working on my thesis about charge movement in nano-wires, solving different problems and doing experiments and numerical simulations. in july we are moving out to charleston to start nuclear power school.

im still doing my thing, trying to get the most out of life, drinking tea and reading quite a bit, getting my advanced free fall skydiving certification and doing all sorts of other outdoor activities. i have also gotten interested in symbolic logic these days and one of my objectives in the far future is to read and understand gödel's work... im also working on my surfboard and am in the artistic phase of its construction before i glass it.

the international community is quite small out here but i have met some awesome people from bosnia and lithuania. i have also had some good times with my classmates from the academy who are out here. my housemates are doing well and my old roommate from the academy, justin, is going to get married in april and im the best man. my other roommate from the academy, oz, announced recently that his wife is expecting in october!
