Day 60 Hey guys, check out this video of a laser lab! http://vimeo.com/52180005 I apologize for the vertical camera. I'm new at this. I finally played some more Darksiders. I gotta say, what the game lacks in story/atmosphere, it gains in spectacular boss fights. I don't know if I've had this much fun boss fighting since Metroid Fusion.
Day 52 Ahh, free day's are so fantastic. I played some more Darksiders, and watched Minute Physics entire series. Now I'm getting sucked into the wild world of topology.
Day 47 Man, I got almost no sleep last night. I just couldn't fall asleep. So that really made today a drag. Anyway, I got some tests tomorrow, so I'll talk to y'all later!
Day 46 Ugh, I have three four midterms coming that I feel woefully unprepared for. I've got Fitness and Calc on Tuesday, Chem on Friday, and Civilization the following Tuesday. Also, I bought "Panic" by Caravan Palace. I think I like their first album better, but it's a little soon to tell. Goodnight all, I hope you had a great weekend!
Day 44 So, after making fantastic progress in the laser lab, we went down to the chem department to grab some deionized water. And I found this beauty: Yep. Just a chunk of Uranium, sitting right there. So yeah, I hung out with some people, which is why this is such a late entry. Fun times.
Day 43 Hey guys, who's got two thumbs, and their dad just sent them an iPhone 5? This guy. B) So that was a pretty awesome highlight of my day, plus I got a decent amount of work done. I'd say I can write this off as a good day.
Day 41 These 8:00 classes are not for me. Homeschooling does not prepare you for getting up early. I hung out with some guys on my hall most of the day, in an effort to avoid doing homework. That's about all I did today, other than class stuff.
Day 40 So my sister and a friend came to visit, which was lots of fun. I got to show them around, and impress them with the laser. Also, my Chem professor managed to tie in the Bohr model of the atom to Lord of the Rings. The gist of it was, that just like you don't question how the ring works and just accept that it does, Bohr didn't know why his model of the atom worked. I thought some of you might get a kick out of that.
Day 39 I started Darksiders today. It's pretty fun so far, although it doesn't make much sense now. Also, my sister's coming to visit tomorrow! So that'll be fun.
Day 38 So, today was pretty awesome. I watched Doctor Who, which was pretty sad... I miss Rory already. But awesome stuff happened later. So, me and about six other guys went on a night adventure. We went hiking for a while, climbed a barbed wire fence, and then climbed onto a water tower. We chilled there for about an hour. It was awesome.
Day 35 Today was... interesting. For starters, I only made it to half my classes today. I slept through Physics, and then completely forgot about Chemistry. Oops. I was just kinda out of it all day, not quite sure why. It was still a pretty good day though.
Day 34 As far as Tuesdays go, this wasn't so bad. I got caught up in some work, and spent a lot of today helping other people on Physics. Which I actually find enjoyable. I like helping people, especially with science/math. (plus I get to help cute girls. ) I finally got my own key to the laser lab, so now I don't have to wait on someone else to let me in! Yay!
Day 33 So, we got the entire cooling system put back together for the laser! Which apparently took someone a whole semester to do before, so we're making great time. We believe it to be out of actual coolant, but so far there's no leakage, which is really good. We might actually have a working laser by the end of the semester!
Day 32 One month. *woohoo* Got together with some people to play Settlers of Catan, which I won. And I just spent the last 45 minutes watching funny videos with people. Good times.
Day 31 In light of the past week of tests, and the little homework I have due, I took the day off. Instead, I spent most of the day reading Game of Thrones. Good day.
Day 29 Ugh... I got my first allergy shot since being on campus. Needless to say, my body's not taking it so well. My arm's really swollen, and it's super messing with my brain. I can't think straight, and standing's a little difficult. bleh
Day 28 Well, Physics test went pretty well. I'm pretty sure I got an A. I got my Calc test back today as well, I got a 95 on that. I'm still geeking out over The Hobbit though. I can't wait 'till December.
Huh, I posted this last night. Guess the server ate it. Day 25 So I got together with the Brony on my hall, and we started watching Firefly. Which is totally awesome. That's about all I did today, I finished up most of my homework. Sooo... later!
Day 24 Have I mentioned I hate weekends? They just serve as a constant reminder of my lack of social skills. There's almost always events going on Saturday nights, which I show up to and then proceed to do nothing at. I have no idea how to approach people, or even hold a decent conversation. It gets a little depressing sometimes.
My God. He's like the holy spawn of Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles. Mr. Fantasy may be my new favorite song ever. EDIT: And throw some Jethro Tull in there for good measure.
Day 22 Oh Thursday's, how I love you so. Took a Fitness and Wellness exam this morning, I think it went pretty well. I spent most of the day reading Plato's Gorgias, which was a really interesting read. Also, I found out my roomate definitely does not enjoy any sort of electronic music.
Day 21 Well, we had the freshman swim test today. Which was passed without much issue. Did some basic level kinematic stuff in Phys lab. Aaand that's about all the interesting stuff. I've got my first 'real' test tomorrow, so... later!
