Andrew's school -- According to Lindsay

Andrew started his second (of three) semester at Carnegie Mellon in January. On Mondays and Wednesdays he has a class at 10:30 called Secure Software Systems.  The class teaches about security, and weaknesses in security, and hacking.  I think he likes it.  He is going to be starting a project where he has to write a pretty intense research paper with another person.  I don't think writing papers is his favorite thing, but sometimes you have to do things you don't like.

He has another class on Mondays and Wednesdays at 2:30 it is called Wireless Sensor Networks.  He is in a group with two other people, they have been working on projects a lot lately.  I feel like I know them pretty well because they work a lot at our house.  There last project was a whack a mole with little chip things.  I got the highest score they had ever seen, I was pretty proud until they told me the goal was to have the lowest score. . . I did better the next few times.  
Andrew spends a lot of time in this building, it looks way better in this picture than in real life.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays he has a class at 10:30 called Leadership of Engineers, it's a very easy class. If he does everything he will get an A.  Apparently they've been learning about the same thing for the last 4 class periods, I guess he will know that stuff really good.  So it's easy, but kind of boring.

Andrew was trying to get into an Ipad development class, but he never got in.  The teacher said he could audit it, he went the first few weeks, but it is on iTunesU so he can just watch the lectures in his spare time.

For the most part I think he really likes it, and he is learning a lot.
