Coures Requested!...kind of...

I finished planning all of my courses for next semester and I submitted a course request for them! Unfortunately, I couldn't actually request two of the courses I wanted: Engineering Problem Solving C++ and Introduction to Design and Economics.  These courses are restricted to specific engineering majors, but since I'm only a freshman, I'm still in General Engineering. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but because of Dual Enrollment and AP Classes I took during high school my schedule is a semester ahead of the "normal" schedule.  Instead of these two courses, I requested Elements of Material Engineering and  Intro to Science Fiction.  I hope to declare my major and change those two courses back to   Engineering Problem Solving C++ and Introduction to Design and Economics.

I had Calculus today and I got back the results of my second test.  Since this one test counted as  25% of my final grade, it was a pretty big deal.  I got an 89 on the test, but thats okay because there's an optional ten points extra credit on this test and I got a 96 on my last test plus an additional ten points extra credit.  That means that if I get all ten extra credit points my grade in calculus will be a 102.5!

Lee Hall is having a Halloween party this Friday and I'm dressing up as a mad scientist. I have a lab coat and goggles, and I'm going to get some dry ice to make a "smoking" beaker!  To go with the mad scientist look, I need a crazy super-weapon.  In this case I'm going to arm my pneumatic with tootsie rolls. Deadly but delicious!  I'm also going to be carving a pumpkin as part of a contest sponsored by D2.  I can pick up a pumpkin to carve, and its free as long as I return the pumpkin before Friday! I plan to do something like this:

Haha, pumpkin pi, get it?

I also have my own pumpkin that I bought, but I'm not sure what I'm going to carve for that one yet.

Thats all for today, I'll be back tomorrow with another exciting episode of My Life!.
