To do during the weekend
This is a to do list of things I should try to accomplish during the weekend.

It's been a while...
... but have been pretty busy. Those complex phases were the result of an awful mistake. It was the units of my cross section. Now I know what a barn (b) is. Anyways, Coulomb potential in the modified Klein Gordon equation is next...
(Had a really cool idea about curved space and electric charge... More on that later.)

Groove Salad
Wow. I have spent three hours, non-stop, writing up my Quantum Mechanics 2 problems in clean paper. It has been made a short time thanks to SomaFM's Groove Salad. It is an Internet radio station, like they say, "a nicely chilled plate of ambient beats and grooves". So far the only problem that I am doubtful is one about partial wave’s phases. I am getting complex numbers for them. Maybe my approximations are incorrect, or these complex numbers can have some physical interpretation. I guess after I finish with QM 2 I will start writing up the problems for Advanced Quantum Mechanics. These ones are only three. Again, I have a doubt on one of them: What the hell does "Center of Mass Energy" means?

Gauge Theories
Today I learned a bit about gauge theories. All of a sudden, Electromagnetism seems more beatiful than ever. I like the way theoretical physics is being built. Let's see if my new knowledge helps me with the Advance Quantum Mechanics Problem Sheet...

QMII
So the problems are not that bad. Two almost done, two to go. I have not started with AQM yet...
Man that class is weird. I guess theoretical courses are like that. The professor has gone through lots of material very quiclky. We are going to finnish all the Klein-Gordon Equation theory now and move on to the Dirac Equation. The idea is pretty simple: Negative energy states come up because of the equation representing the square of energy. Then we associate this states with antiparticles. I guess I should do my homework. I cannot wait to learn about String Theory and Quantum Field Theory.

Breakfast!
Weekend Warrior
So for this long weekend (yay for Puerto Ricans Holidays!) I have to read Biology stuff, work on my Quantum Mechanics 2 and Advance Quantum Mechanics problem sheets, and think about my MATLAB homework. Quite a handful. Advice for the little kids: do not take more than one class during a semester that includes "quantum" in its name. Fun, fun fun!
The pleasure of finding things out.
Famous words by Richard Feynman. Indeed. I just finnished a problem sheet for Math of Modern Science 2. The problems looked nasty, but everything became clear.

Graduate School
I am a graduating senior now. I applied to a couple of Graduate Schools in the U.S. this past winter. One of them already declined my application. I felt so sad. I thought that if all fails, I will live like a homeless person. But on purpose. I went into this long daydream once (during Biology class) about me living in a campus just making money tutoring math and physics student. It would be a nice urban legend...
A new attempt....
I want to write stuff. I will try to write here for myself. Thoughts, ideas, opinions. Speak of my mind.
