My alarm clock and I are having issues, and as a result, I have overslept and missed the past two propulsion classes. Grr. I set the time, but I forget to flick the switch to “on.” How idiotic is that? I guess it just goes to show what happens when I’m tired. I should get in a habit of setting my alarm clock in the morning, right after I’ve turned it off.
Today was really nice, despite the late start. When I finally woke an hour later than planned, I headed over to the A/A library to work on my E206 homework…and I was so proud of myself for being able to finish the entire assignment, correctly, with no assistance from anyone else! Maybe I can do this after all, eh? Now I just have to build the circuit, but I don’t have the right size resistors (unless I want to figure out how to make resistances like 15, 8, and 30 kilo-ohms from the handful of 10 k-ohm resistors that I have…which is possible in some configuration, I know, but I’m lazy) so tomorrow Aaron and I are going to make yet another trip to Fry’s. I have this feeling my visits to Fry’s are going to occur on quite a regular basis this quarter. It’s ok though. I love fry’s. It’s this huge warehouse that has every kind of electronics-related thing you could ever possibly need. Engineering heaven. And it’s decorated in a wild west theme, which is just plain funny.
At noon I headed to the dance studio to watch Nick film his audition tape, and that went quite well. From there I headed back to the library to finish my homework, and then headed to class at 3:15, where we learned all about V-N diagrams. Talk about shades of senior design coming back to haunt me…
After class I walked towards home with Valerie and Tyson, but instead of going all the way home I stopped at Cromem to harass Nick. But I’d forgotten that he has class, and Emily wasn’t around…so I decided to go find where Tyson lived in the building. He wasn’t doing anything, so we hung out for the hour I had until dinner. We walked over to Moonbeam’s and got coffee, then sat on the floor in his room doing the crossword. I had never hung out with Tyson before, but I have recently discovered that he is quite a cool guy. He was going on a blind date tonight! I wouldn’t mind going on a date with Tyson. He’s cute, and funny, and easy to talk to.
Anyway. Just a thought.
Dinner was good, and I spent some time at the coffee house (CoHo in Stanford lingo) with Valerie, then watched part of a movie with Emily, then headed home and wrote my column for tomorrow. Now it’s time for me to do some reading for tomorrow’s discussion class.
And that, dear people, is a lovely summary of my very nice day.
