My meeting with the advisor was great. I really appreciated having someone from the actual school there to talk to about classes. Before joining S-STEM, I had a really hard time trying to decide what the best path was especially when my undergrad degree was going to be split between two schools. I know that I could have made an appointment and seen an advisor apart from the program, but it was so convenient to have him just there when I was already there and studying anyway. The extra awesome part was that the advisor had also gotten part of his degree in philosophy!!! I really want to minor in some kind of philosophy. I’m not sure what yet. There’s logic and ethics and ancient. The advisor said that he’d email me some of the options that they have available. I always thought that having a minor really sounded like something special and tough, but really it’s only 6 courses (only two can be lower division or at the community college level as I understand it). That’s not so hard.
Research continues of course. This week we are breaking our hands trying to punch out uniform plastic circles. Fun, fun. It’ll be a huge help during SEM and FTIR though especially compared to randomly grated microplastics where I expect the tool marks to be more completely random and chaotic. You never know what something will really look like once you get down to the micro level though. *shrugs* We shall see.
