Professional Whistling

I am sitting in my manufacturing class, which I hate. My teacher is pretty incompetent. We are just watching movies today about MEMS. It is pretty dumb. I can do this on my own, and I don't have to get up at 7 to do as such. It seems as though most of the class is of the same opinion. From where I am sitting, I can see 14 laptops out, and I will bet there are at least 8 to 10 more that I can't see. Everybody on my row has one out, and not one of us are paying attention.

This week, I have no tests. I do, however have a lot of foot-work to do on my 282 engine. I am hoping that I can get the frames done today so that we can run a test assembly. Also, I have spent around 20 hours since last Thursday in the CAD lab. Final pictures to come soon.

Well, I had better get back to work, but first, here is some deliciousness:

λ

I finished my math today in 13% of my battery. How did I do this: Eigenvalues.

  • This really bothered me. I hope it bothers you too.
  • I laughed, I cried.
  • Owls. And were you aware that he was the king of the beavers? Me neither.

Pols Voice

Last week was really long, and the weekend wasn't long enough. I had the intention of getting a lot of homework done and to study for some upcoming tests, but I did neither. I will instead spend this week having no fun at all. I have banned myself from facebook for a week. I don't know if I will succeed at holding to that, but I will try. There really isn't much of anything to say.

  • Hey! Look! Listen! There is a new kinda of pasta. It said that it was sea shapes, but I disagree.
  • This photo's caption is "Dave is his own loan-shark 2." He again just finished telling us how he borrows money from one of his accounts and uses it for things which it was not previously intended.

Physics Test 3

We will see how well this works. My bet is "not very."
The plan is to update this every hour or so to see how long I am up. I will give you the rundown of the previous hour's events. This might be interesting.

Went to go get some highlighters so I can distinguish when voltage is emf or just potential. Working on physics. Awesome2 Also had to open the html edit of an old post because I can never remember the command to make an exponent.

I have learned that despite the fact that it has been well publicized in my PHSCS 220 class that there will be a lot of "Which light bulb will be brighter?" questions on the test, there is virtually no information about them in the book.
4:44-
Decided to try to eat something. Nothing has really stayed down for over a day now. I chose to eat combos, and promptly offered Dwill some over Facebook. I am working on RC circuits as of right now, and I have officially forsaken the night's sleep. At this point I would be more tired when I get up than if I just stay awake.
5:15-
This is the last update of this post because, well, frankly I have grown tired of this. I'm tired.

There are >12 Cylon Models.

So, it is Sunday afternoon and I need to start studying physics and math. Why? Because I have a few tests this week. It seems as though all my classes like to correlate when they give us tests.

Dave got a Mr. Jass television. It is quite nice to sit down and watch Dahl's sequel to the BFG. Speaking of which (Derek, cease reading here unless you've seen it), Daniel (#7) could be one of the following people:

  • Starbuck
  • Baltar
  • Somebody else
I will go as far to guarantee he is one of those.

Yesterday was Valentines Day. I watched Jurassic Park. Not usually what people think to watch on Valentines.

In the hunt for pictures or things to post. I found this from the mission. Owens had some mittens that got a make over. This is what they looked like after Nina got a hold of them.

  • This really made me laugh.

Here's to the Night.

It is Monday night, which means that I am frantically trying to get my physics homework done so that I can submit it by midnight. See? Can you tell how frantic I am? Right now we are working on resistivity, which is actually pretty interesting. It reminds me of this XKCD
Here is something that bothers me: when a question is labeled (for example) "Number 12," but then it has 12a, 12b, 12c and so on in that fashion. It makes it so when you look at your homework, you say "Hey, I only have 5 problems for my homework. That's pretty nice." and later find out you actually have 27, well, it just ruins your whole day.

Derek, check your spelling on your blog posts. Especially in the title. The red, squiggly underline doesn't mean "cool word."

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.
