Tour

Today we went on a tour of the UW EC materials building. It was interesting, they have alot of very expensive equipment that undergrad schools normally do not have. They have 2 Scanning Tunneling Micoscopes, a breeder they are putting together, a XPS (X-ray photospectrophy machine, or something like that), A TPM, at least one ion mill, and this machine that can take readings of 1 part of one billion particals. That is like taking an olympic sized pool full of sand and getting one specific grain of sand out of it.

Which bring up the question. Do I take my 2 year degree and call it good enough, or go into an undergrad school and then onto a grad school to get a masters or possibly even a Phd? Much to think about.
