Vortex Shedding - Get The Facts

Today was the last day of Invsicid Flow. Jeff & I switched seats with Heather & Amy to see if Dr. Vakili would notice. He didn't. And we watched some ancient movies about steam lines and vorticity. They predicted lunar colonies by the late 1980s. Yowzah.

After the movies, Dr. Vakili talked about the Magnus Effect, which states that if a hypothetical airplane takes off from Atlanta heading towards Nashville moves in Inviscid Air, it leaves behind a big honkin' vortex to counteract the discontinuity at the tail end of its airfoils. Fortunately, we live in a viscous world. Otherwise, I'm sure that the Atlanta International Airport would have been sucked into another dimension what with all the vortices and all.

After class, Heather and I tried to map out our Christmas Break with Dr. Vakili to no avail. There's some high level stuff going on right now that's preventing him from making a few decisions. This leaves me in a frustrating position. Technically, he's within his rights to have me work every weekday between exams and next semester. He'd lose all of his cool points if he did that, but he can do it. Honestly, I think he's just been around the block enough times to be scared of committing to any statement without having supreme control over the situation. Most likely everything will be okey-dokey, he's just waiting to see what's up first.

There were actually people at the Fitness Center today. Crazy.

Heroes was very excellent tonight, but it was a cliffhanger that will keep me cliffhanging until January 22nd. Not cool.

I also found out today that BSG will be moving to Sunday nights when it comes back. What's up with that?
