<p>I totally understand where you are coming from Purdue. I think it is essential to have outside hobbies other than what you are studying. In my opinion if you dont, you might get burned out and it might possibly affect your grades/career goals. Believe it or not I really dont have an EE hobby,thats why I posted the thread just to get some ideas. I do play guitar, take cooking classes with my fiancee’, workout etc. So I do social and always meet interesting people, which by the way is a good way of networking. Its really just something to do in my off time from studying, not for a research project for my school or anything like that. I just want to apply what Ive learned so far to something that I can do in my garage or office. Do you know of any websites or ideas Purdue? Really some kinda of kit that I can mess around with when Im bored.</p>
