foolish_m0rtalSo this is hell week for engineering school. I have a differential equations (yes, tally it up, NF-kun) test tomorrow and a digital logic design test after that. You know that math hw I always bitch about? The one I barely get done at the end of the week even when I start on it on the weekend? Yeah, haven't even done that. Haven't had TIME to do that.
Doesn't help that I stabbed myself with a NAND logic gate during lab today.
Tried to pry it gently off the breadboard, and a pin went right through my finger. *sigh* Well, at least now I've christened my circuit kit with ritual blood/now it is officially my kit and no one else will want it. ^_^
My suitemate also injured herself considerably more when her bike brakes stopped working as she was going around a turn just after it had rained. *wince* Not pretty.
And all the lights in the CS building went out today. We were just in a systems engineering class (don't ask) about a self-relient power-generating eco house, so we were running around shouting, "Not sustainable! What's wrong with this system?!" Even Systems majors make fun of Systems majors. That's only to be expected.
The electrical/computer engineering/computer science majors were celebrating, because this meant we weren't able to do any of our labs. Then, of course Hayden says, "Aww, the CS lab was going to be fun."
Fwoom, the lights come back on. Damn you, Hayden!
So I'm really tired and dreading taking these tests (especially Digital Logic Design, because my academic advisor teaches the class, and I want to make her proud ^_^)
If I can get through this week, I feel we will be solid. Totally going to the foam party the Glee Club is hosting on Saturday night. Basically they have this huge foam machine that fillls the entire basement up with soapy foam. Like...a WALL of foam. Good clean fun.
Aand on a slightly disgustingly girly note, I got to hang out with a guy I've had a low grade crush on since first semester. Flippin' sweet.
