Got the first semester marks back a week ago; no big surprises, and I am still on track for my goal.<\/p>\n
Still haven’t heard back regarding my I-20 application, and the international office at CMU seemingly get swamped with paperwork this time of year so they don’t offer any confirmation of having received them. So it’s all a bit in limbo at the moment. Hopefully it has arrived, as it would be a lot of work getting more copies of the financial papers from my banks!<\/p>\n
Modules are going well this semester. I, on purpose, chose modules which are mostly exam evaluated so that I could focus on my project during term. Only the large scale distributed systems module has a coursework, but they made sure to set it quite early so we could have plenty of time to get it done. Some mates and I spent a half day getting through most of the first half, so at least that is out of the way!<\/p>\n
