I’ve felt really rushed the past couple of days but now I have a break where I can relax for a bit. I don’t have a huge amount of homework pressing on me for tomorrow, so I can actually update this blog and sit around for a bit. The most exciting thing coming up will be Trinity visiting this weekend. We’ll hang out with David and watch German movies and eat sushi; here’s hoping she has a good time in Lex Vegas. It’ll be great to finally meet her, especially since I’ve known her since 1999.

So Chris, April, and I got our lab report done for physics just today and turned it in. Found out after the fact from Dan that we were supposed to have recorded serial numbers for all our equipment and included that in the report, which we didn’t do. I wonder how many points that’ll be off right there. We were all kind of shooting in the dark for this one because we didn’t have much to go on. It would have been nice if a sample lab report was online. The lab today was much, much easier, though, because it was just so short. I’m not even supposed to be out of there yet, but we finished over an hour early.

I got my physics done and submitted (we do it online) by 5p Wednesday, though there was one problem I didn’t get until 5:39, which sucks. If I had gotten that one correct on time, I would have had a 99%. As it was, I had an 89.1%. That’s always a source of stress, though this week was worse because I didn’t finish until Tuesday night. I had worked on it some previously, but we had our study session Tuesday, as opposed to the regular Monday date when Tiffany, Jess, Patrick, occasionally Dan, and I get together on it.

Jess and I are pretty annoyed with our EE 280 professor, mainly because he doesn’t cover in class what we’re assigned in homework, but also because the TA’s don’t know how to do what we’re doing. We eventually figured out the homework last night after three hours of work and my getting a sore back from sitting in one spot for so long. Jess checked with one today and she apparently didn’t know how to calculator the number of transistors necessary for any given circuit, which was annoying but we figured it out.
