I think I get quite a lot of extra points on my geek card now: I spent most of the afternoon coding.
Together with my lab partner (Uni - undergraduate research project), working, in baby steps, on a computer model of our physics lab work. And we actually got something vaguely sensible out of it by the end. Not actually useful or informative, only very tenuously related to the physics we're allegedly looking at, but a step in the direction of getting our heads 'round the concepts we're dealing with.
And it was quite fun, sort of exhilarating - helping each other understand what's going on, shouting at each other in excitement or exasperation, going "but look, no, yes, er.... what I'm trying to say is... damn, my head hurts" all the time. And, at the end, we had something that compiles, runs, and produces results that make sense.
In a more general sense, it's probably boosted my enthusiasm for my research and my degree at least a little, which is always good. Not that I don't like my chosen subject, but I do have doubts whether I'm doing the right thing every now and then. |
