oh, i finally posted pictures from the e206 presentations last friday. unfortunately, the disassembly of phatman has already begun. yesterday i had to go get the actuator magnet to return to the guy who let us borrow it, and in slicing the magnet off the wooden crossbar where it was glued, the flimsy balsa wood broke. not that phatman can do anything without his magnet anyway.
but before i took his magnet, i turned him on one last time and watched him balance. oh, he was such a good phatman. may he rest in peace.
i am really tired of school, and not looking forward to spending most of today in the lab hooking up stupid solar cells to make a motor and propeller run. but that’s what i have to do. ugh. i’m so tired of school. i keep telling myself that there is only one more quarter, and then i will have a master’s degree. and the m.s. is something that i definitely do want for myself. but i am so tired of being in school. maybe i’ve finally reached the point that everyone else reaches midway through undergrad. that’s why reasonable people take jobs, eh.
nick asked me last night…”sarah, why are you going to houston?” i didn’t realize that every time i mention moving to houston, it is in the context of being upset that i’m leaving gorgeous california for yucky houston. he’s never heard me say anything that indicates i’m excited about moving and starting a full-time job.
i dunno. sometimes i really am excited. other times i know it’s just the safe thing to do. but for better or for worse, that’s where i’m headed.
