I hope everyones enjoying their Valentines Day as much as I am. Odd how yesterday was Friday the 13th also.. Anyways, I stayed awake all night re-reading the Lord of the Flies, then sleeping in until everyone had left for work. Once I woke, I sat down at my computer and finished my 'morse code' java project for InfoTech. Naturally, due to my hesitancy of creating any kind of relations, I find myself once again inside during a sunny day, but I suppose that my getting outside yesterday should remedy that.
In further detail, my friend and I rented a Cessna 172 from an aviation company in town, and we took a flight around the local ski resort for an hour, snapping a few low-quality pictures through dusty canopy windows. It was an amazing flight, the weather was perfect and the turbulence was off on vacation. I didn't catch any glimpse of skiers from our elevation, but we saw a long line of miniature cars en route. I guess we had beaten everyone up there.
Yesterday, I bought some 'Crest White Strips' to counteract the effects of coffee. These things are a living hell. They are so sticky! The only think they won't stick to are your teeth, so after about an hour last night, I had them somewhat in place, with a few parts dangling out. I had shut my mouth tight, and my hands were dripping in my own saliva. After another half an hour of keeping them in, I finally could remove them, so again I had to get up and wash my hands afterwards. Again this morning, I put them in, with another half an hour of drudgery... these things better be worth it!!!!
At school, calculus is proving to be VERY challenging. Most fun I've ever had in a class. Who'd have thought that derivatives would be so much fun? My mark is probably lower than any other math mark I've ever had, but I'm actually learning things in the course, so I'm lovin' it.
I also have Chemistry this semester, which I'm loving too. It's interesting how slow some people can be in a lab; we were doing a simple lab to figure out the density of water. We filled up a micropipette with water, and weighed it. We emptied the micropipette into a graduated cylinder, measured the volume, then we measured the weight of the empty micropipette. After 6 successful and consistant trials, I showed the teacher, and he agreed that it was perfect. By the time I had done this, the person beside me was still on the first trial! I was slightly astounded, since we were three quarters of the way through the allowed time period.
Anyways, I leave for work in just under two hours, so I might as well go throw something to eat together. I hope everyone enjoys their Valentines Day, but don't overdo yourselves on chocolate :P Have a good one!
-Carna mi Fin-nor!
(Can't wait for Prototype!!!)
