It looks like I'll be teaching a class in the fall! First time, and in my last semester of grad school. This is both exciting and nerve-wracking

@royalscofields1 Color me surprised, I didn't expect to see a picture of myself while scrolling. Thanks all!

[Will Collings @fancymaths]

This truly was a surprising result to see this year!

I'd say it's a shame nobody uses these anymore but technology does move ever onwards

@juliefowlis @instagram 2 days off work and a 7 hour drive to get there, I'm excited!

@ThePhDPlace Aoidh (the cat) sleeping on Charles (the blåhaj). It turned into one of his favorite sleeping spots for a while!

@grodriguezlemus I just finished all my classes, and I'm trying to work on a paper in the off-hours I have from working a full-time internship this summer. It's been so hard to find any motivation! You have my sympathy here

@charishoard You don't even play FNAF...?

Third day on the job back in Medford. I really do love the greater Boston area, it's so nice being back

On my way to a skydiving appointment, we'll see how this goes. I wasn't sure if anyone in my lab group (including myself) would chicken out, but we're all here!

@mofreemason When you spot yourself in a different Grand Lodge's photo🤣

Had a blast walking with @GrandLodgeOhio in the #cornerstone2023 parade yesterday!

@3blue1brown @michael_nielsen I've always heard this as "the Rumpelstiltskin principle": if you can name something, you can gain power over it

@drkimcase I worked for a half day on Tuesday, until I realized that my university is giving out parking tickets already *despite not offering parking passes yet*. After that I kinda gave up trying to get lab work done...

[Will Collings @fancymaths]

And just like that another semester is over. I think that makes 22 of them now?

@HebrewForMasons The way I see it: the degrees stack, they don't overwrite. So you've got your whole life to work on that! The question was "made suffient progress", not "mastered" for a reason. Indeed they may be impossible to truly master, just as nobody is truly a perfect ashlar

@MNateShyamalan I was there for the first time over the summer and had the exact same experience. First week is surreal lol

[Will Collings @fancymaths]

I was informed this afternoon that I'm being awarded the Young Engineer of the Year award for my local IEEE chapter, which I wasn't aware I'd even been nominated for. Honestly I'm still just confused lol

[Will Collings @fancymaths]

The lab is 90 degrees today and they're doing construction in the walls right next to my desk. It's gonna be a loooooong day
