here we go again...

well, i'm a bit disappointed because I have been unable to find a project for a master's thesis. met with a professor today that I had spoken with several weeks ago that mentioned he might have something, but turns out that may not be the case. He did have a project but isn't sure if there is enough substance to it to qualify for a master's thesis. Might be able to work something out, but i'm not putting too much hope into it. It has been much tougher than i thought it would be to find a thesis. It deosn't help that the department seems to be going downhill and moving away from anything aerospace. very limitted amount of professors that even do research that could relate to an AE degree....two of which are retired now. that doesn't help either.

so i'm taking a full load of classes again this semester instead of any research, so it looks to be really busy again. still looking at possible thesis topics to start in the spring, but if I start then I won't be able to get out of here by May as I have been planning. I'll only stay past May if I get some sort of cool project two work on, otherwise I'm just going to say screw it all and do the non-thesis option. That may not be the recommended approach and may not look as good on a resume as a thesis, but it will get me the hell out of here on time. I really don't want to be here any longer than eight years.
