9.81 m/s2

Record time today for a math test. 1.76 hours. Now, if you can't sleep very well at night, you should know that 76% of an hour is 45 minutes and 36 seconds. This was exceptionally quick considering that most of them took upwards 3 hours last semester.

I have another test on Thursday. It is in my manufacturing class. It will be either A) unreasonably easy, or B) viciously hard. I'll keep you all posted so that you know. I am going to study for it today so that tomorrow I can spend the majority of the day in the CAD lab. Fun stuff.

Last Friday we went out to a huge hole in the middle of nowhere. We proceeded to hurl flaming pieces of garbage down the shaft. The sad part of the whole thing was the fact that I was generally more interested in timing the fall and calculating the depth of the shaft than just tossing stuff down.

Saturday consisted of going to Hillier's sister's wedding. I drank some sort of green drink in aspiration of being a billionaire super-hero one day.

Fact: Billionaire super-heroes drink green beverages.
Proof:
I'm going to get back to homework now.

Racism isn't funny.

I was thoroughly impressed by Joseph Lowery's inaugural prayer and thought that everybody would like to know what the original text of the prayer was. If you didn't see it, you can see it here.

"We ask you to help us work for that day
When black will not be asked to give back,
Where brown can stick around,
When yellow will be mellow,
When the red man can get ahead, man-
And when white will embrace what is right.
When there is a wocket in my pocket,
When there is a noothbrush on my toothbrush,
When there is not one fish, but two fish,
Which are both red fish and blue fish,
I do not like green eggs and ham,
I do not like them Sam I am.
Let all of those who will do justice and love mercy say 'Amen'. AMEN!"

2.6 Exact Differential Equations

I am sitting in math right now, and I am not really paying any attention. Hence the post.

I just spent about 2 hours in the CAD lab working on, get this, sketches. No, not by hand, but getting the computer to do the sketches for me based off the models that I designed. So, we are taking a 3D model, and degrading it to 2D. Way fun. The most important reason for using the 2D model is because Cylon technology can't hack a 2D model and shut it down so they can destroy you.. like they can with the 3D model.

Today is the Presidential Inauguration of Obama. Yesterday was Martin Luther King Jr. day. In about a week and a half we will be in Black History Month. Stennett and I will continue to eat pancakes to celebrate.

I just realized that I accidentally did the assignment already for what the professor is teaching today. What a waste of a weekend.

Oh, and I quit my job yesterday. Tonight is my last night there. Now I will be poor again.

The Cylons Were Created by Man

For it is a holiday weekend, which means the following things.

1. I will work everyday
2. I will tell myself that I am going to try to catch up on homework and studying, but won't
3. Sunday midnight basketball.

Number 3 is rationalized by the fact that it isn't technically the sabbath anymore. It has been a traditions almost every time there has been a Monday holiday.

I really don't have that much to say.

∫∫∫ 1 dzdrdθ of NaCl

I am currently sitting in the library (booktorium) and should by all means, be finishing my math. I am, however, not doing as such. I was up pretty late last night, and got up early this morning. I fell asleep in my first class of the day (Manufacturing Science) and we will see how the rest of the day goes. I am betting that unless I pull out my laptop in every class, I fall asleep in each one. I made some pretty cool stuff in the CAD lab though. Not that any of you really care.

I downloaded a program called "LyX" last night while I was at work. If any body does a lot of math on their computer, I highly recommend it.

Okay, well, I am planning on going to the devotional in about 30 minutes, and it will be pretty blatant if I am hacking out my differential equations while Elder Holland counsels us to remember Lot's wife.

Ciao.

Mittens ≥ Gloves

This just happened. It was really funny as it was happening, then subsequently less funny as time goes on. Dave knows how to graph the level of funniness as a function of time (Hint: it has a negative slope)

"Do you guys sell, like, mittens?" -Dumb Girl

"Yeah, they're right there, you were just standing next to them." -Me

"Oh, no, these are like gloves"

"Except for those mittens right there on the end... those are like mittens"

"No, I mean like mittens"

"By definition, those are mittens"

"No, I mean like, wool ones"

"Oh, then no, we don't sell mittens"

I then laughed after she left, and told Dave about it.

The Lion King: To Be Successful, Sometimes People Got to Die

This entry is dedicated to the ever diligent D-Mac. He has been bugging me to update my blog for eons, and now I finally am. Hooray to all of my diligent readers. All two of you.
So, nothing really too eventful has happened over the past weeks. I got a B- out of my math class. I initially thought that I was going to have to retake it, but no; I get to move on. What more, I can still minor in math. I have one more beastly math class, then I have two which shouldn’t be too bad. They might even be kinda fun.

Oh, Forbes got married yesterday. Congrats buddy. I got to go to the ceremony and the luncheon. It was actually really fun. The night before we went, Hillier, Stennett and I all played pass the pigs and watched Pastor Melissa Scott. It was great. We have also set up a Super Nintendo and played Super Mario World. Again, great.

I bought another Nixon. David is a bad influence. So is Whiskey Militia. Speaking of which, I need to find my Δ because there is a fancy little place here in the mall that offers unlimited batteries for 5 years. This is beneficial for the following reasons: 1. The Δ batteries are about $20 a pop, and 2. They need to be Δed about once a year.
