Random Update, December 2021: I got into the BU LEAP program

I've been accepted into BU, starting in January. I'll have 2 or 3 semesters of prep classes, before jumping into 2 semesters of masters level work. 

I'm excited. I still don't fully have a handle on what I'll be specializing in, but the basic idea behind going back in the first place was that it was hard to watch Terrafugia crash as hard as it did, after so long. So many people worked so hard, but moving from proof of concept to actual production readiness is a HUGE jump, and they just weren't ready, on various levels. So, having watched that happen, I want to position myself to help other robotic or aerospace startups to make that jump, because it's a big jump. I think people are used to hearing about and reading about software startup mentalities, where you can patch certain things as you move along, and physical infrastructure isn't such a consideration. You can't adapt your design so easily once the tooling has been built.

Anyway, I'll expound later, I'm currently procrastinating, when I should be focused on getting ready for my Cal 3 final. I do have some things to say on all of the topics I've just hinted at, but this isn't the time.
