I'd Give A Kidney For Some Good Barbecue

Seriously. I've got two of them.

Friday:

During Heat Transfer, I literally ran out of paper in my notebook. No joke. That's only happened once before, back during my junior year in...Heat Tansfer! This subject really lends itself to a righteous amount of note-taking. The first time around, I think it was more about the pictures, this time has been about the differential equations and their evil derivations.

After class, I realized I had my Carbon Fiber project meeting. The meeting, by all rights, should have lasted maybe 5 minutes. Instead, it lasted a freaking hour. I've had that happen before at Smith & Nephew. I wasn't suprised that it happened, only very annoyed. That put Jeff and I in Nashville at 5:00 instead of a little before 4:00. That's a BIG difference. The rest of the drive was uneventful, and I wound up hitting town about an hour after I usually do. Jennifer and I ordered dinner from Camy's, which was really good.

I wound up getting to the house right when Mom, Dad, and Blake got in from baseball and got to talk a little bit before bed. They got Mack a haircut, and he's grown even more. He's a good dog, from what I can tell. Way better than Baxter.

Saturday:

I left the house a little before 10:00 to pick up Jennifer and meet BJ & Marly at IHOP before the wedding. I like pancakes. We got to the wedding on time, and it was great. I got to see a lot of old friends that I don't see much anymore (David Tran & Christina, Justin Khuel & Dawn, Paul & Bekky Robbins, Ashley Miller, BJ & Marly, Erik Weghorst). The wedding itself was very nicely done, and kudos to Jackie for getting it all together in a very short amount of time. The food was great too. It was also great to get proof of Erik's fiance Pam. I didn't have much to rib him with now, but that was just as well.

Later on, David & Christina met us at Chili's for dinner, and Garrett met up with us along with his new girlfriend Sheena (one of Jeff's friends from way back). It's weird, and I think one of us knows Kevin Bacon. We wound up seeing The Prestige, which was very good.

Sunday:

After a great lunch at Huey's (chili cheese fries & a Madison Ave burger) with Jennifer, I picked up Jeff and we headed back to Tullahoma. It was a pretty uneventful drive, fueled by gasoline, beef jerkey, and Diet Coke.

Today:

It was back to classes today, whether I wanted to or not. Dr. Kuperschmidt proved something using the Incoherence Method, which was fun to watch. Dr. Vakili taught us about sinks & sources in uniform flows and sketched some "strange things" on the board to illustrate. "Strange things?" you ask. Well, lets just say that they would have been more at home in a biology lab.

Now I'm struggling to get a rough draft for my technical writing term paper done, and it's slow going. So far, its been the mental equivalent of passing a kidney stone. I know it needs to get out, but that's not helping much. Oh well, sleep might help.
