Wait, what?

I'm unusually motivated today, for no particular reason. So this is what that feels like...

Summer Anti-Break

How is it that I have less free time now than I did during the school year?

Priorities

Why is there a U.S. Senator holding a news conference about the New England Patriots' videotape scandal? Don't they have more important things to do?

Wow, it's been a while

It most certainly has been a while since I posted anything, especially considering my goal was to make several posts per week.

These next few weeks are going to be hectic, but hopefully a lot of fun and the best end-of-year yet. The solar car is almost "done," we're unveiling it next Thursday. Thus, my schedule for the next two weeks are:

Tonight: go to shop, install mechanical components of the car
Tomorrow: all-team meeting, work more on car, attend Meg's freind's wedding in the evening

Sunday: Frisbee, maybe homework, maybe solar car
Monday: Class, solar car
Tuesday: Work, solar car, homeworks
Wednesday: Class, LOTS of solar car, more solar car
Thursday: Unveil solar car (10:00AM, McNamera Alumni Center), show off car all day
Friday: Last day of classes, continue work on car
Saturday: More solar car

Sunday: Frisbee playoffs
Monday: Study for finals, work on (finish?) Flight Dynamics final project
Tuesday: Aerodynamics Final Exam
Wednesday: Insturmentation & Structures Exams
Thursday: Leave for St. Louis for solar car inspection event

Uff-da.

Here it is...

...that one week every semester where everything in all your classes seems to line up in the most inconvenient way possible. I have 2 midterm exams and 1 quiz on Wednesday, plus a large project due on Friday. Not to mention that motivation is falling off a cliff due to Spring Break starting in 4 days. At least it won't continue in to the next weeks like it always seems to do...

"Hold on to your butts!"

Slow [E-Mail] Day

Is it bad that I get kind of down when I've only received 4 [non-subscription] e-mails before 1:00PM? I average 8-10 per day, and sometimes I'm literally flooded with new ones.

Is there a support program for that?

..or maybe I'm just bored at work again and need something to do.

Projects

Got 2 projects assigned last week, I'm actually starting to write up one of them 10 days before it's due!

...this is probably a first for me.
