Tactical Missiles, Baby

The good news is that I only have one more class in Vector Calculus. The bad news is that the final is barely more than a week away. Today Dr. Kuperschmidt finished covering all the topics he wanted to cover, with tomorrow being a review day for the final. Good times.

After class, Jeff and I made a bee-line back to the apartment to start getting some work done. I worked on Heat Transfer problems until lunch, and after lunch too. I went to the gym around 3:00, and did my full 1000 calorie workout. Today was my last day at Harvey's Gym; I'll be using the Base Fitness Center until I head home to Memphis, and I'll decided how I want to do things next semester when I get back from the break.

As was brought to my attention while I was in town, I've put a few pounds back on since I moved up here, and I'm trying to remedy that. Sadly, the Atkins diet is a little cost-prohibitive while I'm up here but I can watch my calories. I've lost 3 lbs since I got back. Not too shabby at all.

I've also been trying to figure out what classes to take next semester, and I think I've got it figured out. Here's what I'm planning on taking as of tonight:

AE 512 - Viscous Flow: A continuation of Inviscid Flow, taught by Dr. Vakili. Should be pretty neat, according to Jeff.

ME 522 - Mechanical Design: It sounds like a more in-depth version of Dr. Shiue's Machine Design class, taught by Dr. Dekken (whom I've never heard of). We'll see.

ME 599 - Tactical Missile Design: The title says it all, taught by Dr. Flandro (the guy who planned the Voyager missions). Sweet.

Dr. Vakili has affirmed my first two choices, and I don't think he'll have a problem with Missile Design. I was considering the Math Seminar on Visualization, but Dr. Vakili talked me out of it (something about being completely useless or whatever).

That's all for now.
