... Heh... Hello....
**Bows for forgiveness** Sorry i didn't update at all in the past few weeks. I have been watching anime and reading manga, and have finished two manga series instead of sleeping. I am now working my way through Hikaru no Go. I have loved the game Go since i was 10 and i played against Uncle Kuniaki... he totally won every single time but he was very good at teaching me. I kind of suck but i do have a cheap Go set at home that i play with from time to time. i will probably pull it out this weekend. I love games like Go and Chess. I have played Shogi once... i failed badly at it but it was fun to play for the five minutes before my utter (and throughly joked about in Japanese I am sure) defeat. I haven't played any of the above in a while. I always liked them best though. Strategy games are much more fun than games like... Life.... With the exception of Candyland of course.
So... i suppose since i have been to ever class... i can talk about them now...
ME 306 Dynamics-
    I think this class is going to be hard, and it isn't helpful that the class is at 8 in the morning on Tuesday/Thursday. The good thing is that the book is by Hibbler, who wrote my Statics Textbook from last semester. My teacher is very soft spoken and has an accent that I have not placed yet. He seems very nice and there isn't a final. There is a test at the final time but it is really just another test, which is nice. He also gave us all of our homework now and all the due dates so there are no surprises down the life. I have that class with Fernando and Jason. We got to see Chris afterward though, which was pretty neat.
ME 318 Measuring-
    I have no idea what this class is. I am upset about the textbook, which is the tiniest little thing ever and still managed to cost far too much. I couldn't even kill a bug with the book unless i tried really really hard. My professor has a thick accent, Russian. Man I have never had Tuesday/Thursday lecture lectures before and they are sooo intense. Never again unless i have to!
ME 318L Measuring Lab-
    My TA seems pretty neat. My professor likes him and he is still a student so he seems pretty chill. He said something along the lines of "being done before spring break". I am hoping he meant done done, as in no more lab before spring break, because that would be sooo awesome.
ECE203  Circuits I-
     My teacher is southern. It is kinda awesome. he also sends us all (8 million) of his slides from his lectures. He seems pretty neat and nice. I hope the semester goes well. The only super sucky thing is that we are using a new book, which costs a ton and the bookstore hasn't even gotten it yet. Which is jerky.
CHEM 122 Chemistry-
    ... I hate the entire chemistry department, as a while. "Hi... We've only used this book for a semester, but we decided it sucks. Buy a new $160 book" "Hi... We finally decided on a clicker. It's the only one that Nyssa doesn't own" "Hi... so we don't have any more copies of that new book..." ... Needless to say i am not happy at all with the chem department and i am reminded why every time i close my eyes. Lab looks alright. Nothing special yet except how much i hate lab. Ugh!
MATH 316 Differential Equations
    Looks interesting. Lucky me i already know Matlab. The only issue that will just take some time to get used to would be that my professor has a very thick thick thick accent. But i will get used to it. It isn't the worst I have heard. **shrugs**
...
I am going to go watch some anime and read manga and books.
