Great Googa-Mooga!

Mid-term day is a very dangerous day.

Actually, the tests were not as bad as they could have been.

The Vector Calc test was made up of questions from our homework, so I had seen them before. That does not mean that I immediately knew how to work them, or that I could remember the non-sensical proofs that Dr. Kuperschmidt had written on the board. 7 questions, 5 of which that I think I pretty much nailed. The other 2 are a testament to my ability to look like I know what I'm doing. Also, it seems that I don't get Russian humor.

To kill some tension, the Superfriends threw the frisbee around in front of the school before lunch. It was very Serene.

The Inviscid test would have been perfect if I had opened my eyes on one problem (R means spherical coordinates, not cylindrical coordinates you fool!), and not overthought another one (just solve for z, you twit!). I hear that Dr. Vakili is pretty forgiving on tests, and if I ace the final everything else is moot. Here's hoping.

I marinated some chicken tenders in some K.C. Masterpiece herb & garlic sauce, and grilled them last night for dinner. Add them to Jeff's rolls, Amy's mashed potatoes, Heather's Salad, and Jeff's chocolate cake, the meal was most triumphant. Evolution is always a funny movie, and it's a good unwinding film.

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip is an awesome show. Its from the West Wing people, and just extremely well written and has compelling storylines. Almost as good as Boston Legal - Denny Crane!

Jeff and I finished up the evening with Dr. Strangelove OR How I Learned to Stop Worring and Love the Bomb. It's a Stanley Kubrick classic, and it had been forever since I'd seen it and Jeff had never. It was a satire back in the 60's, so some of the oomph is lost, but its still worth the hour and a half. Mein Herr!!

I just have to sit through Heat Transfer today, then I'll be hitting the road for Memphis. I'll be in through sometime on Sunday, that hasn't been quite figured out. Hopefully I'll update a couple of times before I'm back, but don't hold your breath. Most of you people reading this will see me in person anyway.
