Hey guys,

I'm new to your forum and just thought I'd make my presents known. I'm currently a freshman physics major at UNCG and love it! Physics is much more than a passion for me, it's more like a lifestyle. Being a freshman with such a challenging major I find it quite important to have a full grasp on the fundamentals. That's why I created a blog in hopes that people will challenge my problem solving skills and make me think. If you'd like to check it out: http://steve-physics.blogspot.com" Thanks guys for what I know will be a warm welcome.

-steve
