It's Like 'Hee Haw' With Lasers

Yesterday was just about the busiest Wednesday I've had since I worked at Smith & Nephew; it was pretty strange.

First off, I had to wake up even earlier than usual to get to school in time to get my flu shot. I'm not sure if it helped or not, and I didn't even get a cool band-aid (didn't get one at all!). I think $25 should at least get me Scooby-Doo(tm) if not Spider-Man(tm). Would that have been so hard?

After my sub-par flu shot, we had a Vector Calculus make-up class for a day we haven't missed yet (and has yet to be determined). I'm not quite sure behind the logic of that, but I've quit trying to figure Dr. Kuperschmidt out.

Everytime Heather & I try to get some research done, we get way-laid by one obstacle or another. This time no one had a key to the lab. That's no way to run a project, people.

The seminar yesterday afternoon was pretty interesting, but I could have done without it. It was put on by the Head of Research at Wright-Patterson AFB, who is a very smart guy it seems. Tom, the annoying grad student, tried to solve some of his problems during Q & A while simultaneously annoying everyone in earshot. The Trunk Monkey videos were funny though.

After the seminar, I snuck off to the gym for a bit before showering and driving up to Murfreesboro to see my cousin Tara's volleyball team play in the state tournament. They lost, but played very well. I also got to eat at O'Charley's, which was very nice.

Today I got my math mid-term back, with an improved score. It wasn't as much of an improvement as I would like, but I've quit trying to deal with that man. It's not worth the frustration.

We went to Ruby Tuesday's for lunch today (Heather's birthday tomorrow) and I tried a bison burger. It tasted like beef, only more so. Go figure.

Smallville was pretty good tonight, not as great as last week, but next week looks promising. And of course, BSG tomorrow night should be awesome.

Blogger is being weird, so I'm going to end this while I still can.
