Hardly Working

Its been a while, so I'll just hit the high points.

Jennifer came up to visit the week before Spring Break. We drove down to Chattanooga (nice town) and had a blast at the Tennessee Aquarium. I got to pet a sturgeon, a shark (a little one), and a sting ray (he was stingerless). While we were there, we strolled around the downtown area, found an old merry-go-round and rode it for $1. I had a couple of mid-terms to prepare for; I think I knocked my Mechanical Design test out of the park, and I think I may have gotten picked off at 1st on my Viscous test. Oh well, I get points for the baseball analogies.

The week at home was pretty nice - mostly uneventful, somewhat productive, and pretty relaxing. On Monday Jeff and I met up at CBU to work on some missiles stuff. We put in most of a day, and Dr. Shiue bought us lunch (he IS the Coolest Man on the Planet, afterall). The rest of the week, I mostly relaxed, read a little, and spent time with Jennifer. I did finally get to watch Flyboys (its about the Lafayette Escadrille - look it up). It wasn't quite as good as I had hoped, but still a solid B+. If you liked The Great Raid, you'll enjoy Flyboys. Lunch on Thursday with the family was really nice, and not just because of the Central BBQ. But it was a factor. Mostly though, it was nice to get to visit. Also, Wild Hogs was pretty funny.

Getting back in to the swing of things today was not too fun. I barely got up on the second alarm, and stumbled into Mechanical Design with a minute to spare. Dr. Dekken forgot the tests, so no good news there. Gloyer didn't show up for missiles (family emergency), so that was a nice repreive. And finally, our remote student hasn't taken the Viscous midterm yet, so no bad news there. At least that balanced out.

Now I'm sitting here, and about to give up and call it a night.

And...I'm done.
