I had only heard about Scanning Electron Microscopes in textbooks until I saw a real one last week. Better still, the SEM was used to analyze nanoparticles I had made!

Over spring break, I had the opportunity to attend the “50th New England Complex Fluids Workshop” held annually at Yale. My lab professor–Professor Eric Dufresne, who I will be working with this summer–is on the organizing committee for the conference. He thought the workshop would be a good opportunity for me to learn more about the world of Soft Matter Physics.

Carbon nanotubes, hybrid photovoltaics, quantum dots or nanoparticles? Of the 800 labs I could choose from at Yale, it came down to these four. Which lab to choose? I didn’t realize it would be so easy to get in contact with professors and learn about their research!

Some of you may have read my previous blog on the DJ midterm I was preparing for as part of Music 395: Composition and Performance of Music, Multimedia Art and Technology taught by Prof. Kathryn Alexander.
If not, check it out here: http://admissions.yale.edu/bulldogs-blogs/lamtharn/2012/02/04/my-midterm...
Just before Spring Break, all of us in class had the chance to perform our electronic music sets live to the class. The performance put to test our skills in clip launching, sequencing and live effects that we had been learning throughout the semester.

What happens when you house seven musical Yalies into one single suite?
You get “Suite Spot”! An ensemble made up of freshman from one single suite in Morse College!
The ensemble features everyone in my suite: Ethan on piano, Cameron on keyboard, Mark on trombone, Aaron on trumpet, Will on guitar, Brendan on shakers, and myself on electronic drums and synthesizer. It’s actually pretty rare for a group of seven randomly assigned suitemates to share a common passion for music, so this composition we helped to write together was something special indeed!

In my first blog post, I wrote about the hurdles in choosing between colleges in the US from 9000 miles away not knowing what it “felt” like to be at any of them and not even getting a glimpse of the campus.

The first time I read about "suites" and "Residential Colleges", the information flew over my head. The majority of universities in my region have the typical straight hallway of dorms. What other way was there to arrange a collection of rooms? Was it so important for me to actually consider the structure of the housing system in my college decision?
