I expected pain meds and antibiotics. Instead they subjected her to various tests and tortured her for 7 hours. I ended up having to put her to sleep. There was no point in running tests, as they would not have shown anything that could be cured anyway. Had I taken her to John Coyne, she would still be alive. Had I waited two more days for my regular vet to return from out of town, my most precious living being would still be alive.

This was my first time visiting the University of Illinois in many years. He took me around to the Alma Mater Sculpture, the Illini Union, and then we walked around the quad outside of the Illini Union. It is a very nice campus.

They really beautified the older buildings and there are more chain restaurants and newer apartment buildings. But the English Building, where I had most of my classes, still seems to remain the armpit of campus, despite its new floors and classroom computers/projectors. UIUC is world reknown for its services and access for students with disabilities. I've attended two other higher ed institutions and I had to struggle advocating for myself, which was very different from UIUC. The campus was very wheelchair accessible. There was one Anthropology Professor's office I couldn't access; I can't remember the name of the building. There are a few classrooms that are not wheelchair accessible, but DRES (the Disability Resources and Educational Services for students with disabilities) relocates classes if necessary. Here's the DRES website: http://disability.illinois.edu. They offer various services to students with disabilities, even temporary ones. UIUC also has a dorm for students with disabilities who need personal care services. It was called Beckwith Hall and used to be on John Street. But they moved it to Nugent Hall, which is a part of the undergrad dorms. Here's their website: http://housing.illinois.edu/nugent. It's a new building with state of the art technology in the Ikenberry Commons North community. The first floor is home to the Beckwith Residential Support Services program for students with physical disabilities requiring personal care. Floors 3 and 4 houses the new Honors Living-Learning Community. Although there are accessible units in the graduate dorms, there doesn't seems to be anything comparable in terms of assistance with personal care services for graduate students. I did have difficulty finding wheelchair accessible apartments while I was a student outside of Beckwith Hall. Overall, I had a great experience with outstanding faculty and classmates. Of course, there were a few exceptions.

We focused on the physics used in QMC, potential applications in physics not statistics, and had hands-on time were we worked though exercises using the software on a supercomputer. Getting to use the software ourselves while learning about/how to use it was awesome. Some workshop participants came with applications already in mind and used their extra time to run those simulations. I was working on finishing a project and writing a paper using Density Functional Theory at the time and so chose to stick with the exercises provided as part of the workshop. NCSA is a perfect venue for a small workshop, it has meeting rooms with projectors as well as a common area with moveable tables and chairs. We used the common area for meals and discussions as well as a poster session. Bulletin boards were available for the poster session, which workshop conveners arranged in a line side-by-side. It was nice getting to talk with the people presenting posters in a line. Didn't feel like any of the presenters were pushed off in a corner and forgotten. I stayed on-campus at the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign and liked the walk between our lodging for the workshop and the NCSA Building. The campus is large and spread out and I enjoyed getting to take in the University's landscaping and architecture on my way to/from each day's events. Zero complaints.

The first place that he insisted on stopping at was the Illini Union. When we visited, this was a hub of activity. Illini Fest was going on this weekend.

Also one of the instructors recently had an informal ukulele jam that I attended as well. The faculty here are great! Everyone is friendly and they absolutely LOVE music and the arts. It's cool watching the wide variety of instruments that students are carrying to and from their lessons- violins, violas, cellos, guitars (acoustic and electric), banjos, mandolins, ukuleles, and so on. They have summer camps for kids with some variety including a "rock band" camp that a co-worker's daughter attended. She was only going to go for the first week but enjoyed it so much she signed up for the second week too. I think it gave her the confidence to join a real band which she has since done and has performed with in public a few times now. My kids love their instructors and not only had a good time in class but my wife and I are impressed by how much music theory they picked up in class! Also they have a kid's string band The Bow-dacious String Band and I've caught them twice at public performances and for a children's band they're very impressive, if you get a chance to see them perform I recommend it and I recommend C4A if you're looking for music instruction! I wish their location was a little more convenient but really that's the only complaint I have and really that's a minor thing.
