refocused

after a few days (or maybe even a few weeks) of being discouraged, unmotivated, and homesick, i have finally refocused my energies back on my work/research thanks to some awesome friends and research colleagues. i am still in the testing phase of my short-range location project. I hope to finalize this by the end of the month. today, i have begun designing (in verilog) the processor that i would like to start testing from once the altera development board comes in. i feel pretty good and excited about this, as this is the real work that i enjoy. so, hopefully things will continue on in this manner. as you know, you will be the first to know if it does or does not.
