Welcome!

Great. So you like physics.

But let's talk a little bit about me first.

I am Elton. As of Fall 2012, I am enrolled at the University of Virginia (UVA) as a third-year international student majoring in physics. My physics-related involvements include the following: vice president of the Society of Physics Students (SPS), physics department representative at the College Council (CC), research assistant, and grader.

Why did I set up this blog? Most probably because I know that I know nothing, but there are also other students on the same boat with me. I intend to present what I know about physics at UVA while gathering more information to be shared.

I intend to include, but not limited to, the following materials:
  • Student life as a physics student at UVA
  • Research
  • Opportunities inside/outside the department
  • Courses
  • Graduate school preparation (I got to say I am not the expert in this yet, since I am still an undergrad, but I post what I hear from professors, grad students, talks and other sources)
  • SPS/CC-related news
  • Departmental news
  • Fun/Nerdy stuff
  • MUCH MORE...
That is a lot.

I will try to update the blog regularly, but due to my class, research and work schedule, please allow me to rest a little bit if I feel I need to.

Done. Let's get to some physics!
