If Not Entertaining, Write Your Congressman

I saw it on the Futurama opening credits.

Jeff and I got up to school today a little early for a couple of reasons:

A) so I could meet with Heather & Dr. Vakili about some short-term design projects he threw at us yesterday

2) so we could sneak the microwave and fridge into the office under the secretary's radar.

Plan 2 was pretty successful, but Plan A was a mess. We found Dr. Vakili at his office at 10:30 as planned, but he immediately sloughed us off on his post-doctorate assistant (Abraham MEGAnathan) so we could learn more about the "fiber characterization process." It turns out that "fiber characterization" is more about measuring properties than forcing it to do chores and visit sick people. I learned something today.

Heat Transfer was fine. Seperation of Variables is a pain in the butt, but it gets the job done. Or so I'm told. We have yet to plug any numbers into anything to see if works. I'm willing to trust Dr. Antar though. Really.

I emailed a certain professor this afternoon with some questions about our make-up midterm for those of us who didn't do so hot. Apparently, these questions have incurred the wrath of a certain professor. More on that as it develops. Oy.

Taco night tonight, and I didn't get anything on my shirt. Go me.
