Well, I had planned to

Well, I had planned to watch this morning’s sim. I forgot about it until I woke up at 7:30, at which point I quickly dressed and got to work just a couple minutes at 8:00. Perfect, because even if they start to run at 8:00, liftoff isn’t until 8:09! But when I walked in, everyone looked very bored. Turns out the very complicated cockpit simulator that the crew sits in was really giving people fits this morning. We waited and waited while they fixed it, then finally started around 9:20. Everything was going fine until about 4:00 into the sim, when the simulator crashed. And they came on and said “um, let’s just try to get it fixed for tomorrow” and the flight director said “ok, I’d like to stop wasting the team’s time anyway” and we all said “well that was a worthwhile sim.” And laughed. Sean asked me if I learned a lot today by watching. I said sure, I learned that the SMS is just as dumb as the ARD!
I’m in a time crunch to get my homework done before I miss two weeks of class. I have one more textbook chapter to do, and a whole project to do. The project is to design a: “Family Album. Create a site showcasing your family and friends. Be as creative and stylistic as you wish to create a look and feel appropriate to your inner personlity. Create a minimum of 10 pages. Include a main splash page, and a unique system of links. Use a minimum of 10 different images. All images used should link to higher quality full-size image pages. Include enough professional elements to give this site an air of authority. Be sure to use enough of the advanced features during class to be challenging. Use at least one instance of advanced rollover. Consider using background images, table layouts, slices, and image maps. Have fun, be creative, and take pride in your final creation.”
Sigh. It is hard to be both creative and constrained by all those requirements. I actually have no idea what I’m going to do, or I would’ve started it over the weekend. I’m hoping he shows us some examples in class. Anybody got any “creative” ideas?
My paper-airplane-a-day calendar has pink hearts all over it for today and says “Be Mine.” Except when you actually fold the airplane, the “Be Mine” disappears into the folds. That seems dumb. Perhaps you are supposed to fly it at someone, and then if they get curious and open it up they’ll see the secret “Be Mine” message.
