It Stinks And I Don't Like It

Not a whole lot to report on today, I'm afraid.

I slept in, went up to school for lunch and some errands (print off my Matlab code, and pick up an admission ticket to a job fair up in Nashville next week). The first task is straightforward, even though I have to go into the wing secretary's office to get to the printer. She's a scary woman. She tried to melt Jeff with a glare once. The other task...not so simple. We have to pick up the admission tickets from the Director of Admissions (its a stretch, I know). Unfortunately, Callie is off somewhere doing something and won't be back until Friday. And she locked the tickets in her office, and no one around her neck of the woods felt like looking for a key. Oh well.

I made it to the gym again today. So far, I'm batting a thousand on that. Go me. And I feel silly for ever paying for Harvey's Gym. Oh well, lesson learned.

The rest of the day was spent plodding along with my Mechanical Design homework. Dr. Dekken cleared some things up on Monday, which was great. However, these problems are still long, complicated, and poorly written to boot. I think the author should be forced to go to Technical Writing class. Yes, its that bad.

Earlier this evening, I tried upgrading my blog template to the new version. Some things were an improvement, I guess. Primarily, they've GUI-fied the template process (GUI = Graphical User Interface). This is good for people who don't really know HTML or XML. However, at this point they haven't given the GUI enough range to satisfy me. Also, they changed how a few other things looked (brighter pastels = blegh). Overall, it stinks and I don't like it. So I switched back.

In the news: Crazy Astronaut Lady

Interesting point: Cmdr. Bill Oefelein, the hapless guy in the story, was the pilot of the most recent shuttle mission, and a UTSI grad. Interesting.

Finally, today celebrated the return of White Guys With Irrelevant Opinions. Jeff and I aren't going to be as active with it, but it's back and that's a good thing. We have two new scholars to chew the fat, but Jeff and I hope to chyme in from time to time.
