So I am a bit late...
Sep. 8th, 2008 11:37 pmHey there!
So I am a bit late. I wrote an entry for... mid-July but I never posted it. It details my trip to Houston for Jennifer's wedding. I'll put it up later I guess.
I have just kinda decided something cool to do for Nanowrimo. Rewrite a fairy tale, or perhaps multiple fairytales. And take the Grimm approach to them, cut off toes and all. What inspired this you ask? I reply with "Bearskin" KHM101. Go read it if you are not familiar with it. I think it is quite good and an intersting tale.
I guess I'll talk about my classes.
ME301- Thermodynamics. Kinda gross but it's at 10 MWF so it's not so bad. I just have problems wrapping my brain around some things. But i think it could be much worse. My first class of the day with Truman.
ECON105- Macroeconomics- Good god this class is boring. I mean... i has the potential to be interesting and during the first week of school it was alright because the notes were written on the board. Now they aren't. They are on slides, available online, in paragraph form. I have decided that class is for reading and studying other things. It is working pretty well so far.
ME317- Fluid Mechanics- My second class with Truman of the day. It's interesting. it's going to suck but i think i will learn alot. I have a lab for this class as well. My first lab report is due Wednesday. I am like... 40% done. I will be done tomorrow, early.
All my MWF classes have online homework. It's kinda awesome but kinda sucky. Instant feedback is always nice. but i don't like that i have homework everyday. And WileyPlus is MastingPhysics retarded little sibling that can't handle rounding without dying. CourseCompass for Econ however... well i love that program. It tells you the right answer if you miss it, you still get full credit and then, it praises you. Awesome much?
MATH314- Linear Algebra- Another dull class to start my TR days. thus far i know everything we have done. makes for easy homework but i have to rewrite my homework because he keeps changing what is due when. Which sucks. But right now we are doing basic Matrix Algebra and a bit of syntax work. But i read and do sudoku during class until we get to a higher chapter.
CE302- Mechanics of Materials- Matthews is awesome. And I like Mechanics. It's like statics on drugs. So long as the final does not repeat itself i think i will enjoy the class. It is in the new Engineering Building, which is amazing by the way. Very pretty building with a nice lecture hall, neat study lounge and very spacy classrooms.
So that is my schedule... uh... My life?
I just finished Battle Royale, the Novel. I really liked it. I am not sure if i will like the manga (which i found online) or the movie (which starts the actor who plays Light in the Death Note movies, which makes me giggle). But i made intense spreadsheets. you want to know anything random (x kills y with z) i so have it for you. I think i need a new background to reflect this new obsession or whatever. Maybe later.
