Stat mech is done. This means that I am effectively done with junior physics. I think I've learned a lot this year, which is a good thing.

There remains, however, studying for and taking the 96-hour algebra final. The problems will probably be commensurably tough but at least there should not be time pressure. Some of the group theory stuff that'll be on it will be relatively straightforward, at least compared to the Galois theory on the midterm. Math comes tomorrow. Group actions, Sylow theory, group presentations, representations, FG-modules, and character theory.

As our Algebra Seminar 2005 T-shirt says, "We might not be faithful, but we've got character!"

In other news, Doc's seminar dinner was excellent, and playing baseball with small children can be quite relaxing. I have purchased a new bicycle helmet, as my old one was far too large. Much remains, and there is much ahead this summer. But one day at a time, for life is good.
