Thursday - And Tuesday...and Wednesday...

Wow, I'm getting remarkably bad at posting things on time.  Sorry for that, this week's been really busy and I'm still working on getting back into the flow of things.  So, lets start with Tuesday!

Tuesday started out with my Materials Science and Engineering class.  The proffessor wasn't there so we had a graduate student come in instead, and we wrote about how we thought new materials could be used to advance our fields.  It was a paper, but it wasn't that bad imagining what new materials could be used for.

After that, I went to STS 1504, Introduction to Science, Technology, and the Humanities, for the first time.  The proffessor seems nice, and she didn't mind that I had missed the first two classes.  I think that this new class is going to work out after all.

That afetrnoon I went to Multivariable Calculus, where we learned more about multivariable equations and the shapes associated with them.

That evening I went to the library to work on my lab report for ISE 2214 with my partner.  We hit a roadblock with some of the calculations, but we got a lot done.  After that I worked with my ME 2024 team on our ice cream scoop design.

I left there and went to go get some food.  Since it was 9:45, the only place that was open was DXpress so I went there.  I also went to Deet's place and got a milkshake.  After that I went back to Lee and took the elevator up to the 6th floor.  That's where it got interesting.  You see, I only made it up half a floor before the elevator stopped.  I had to push the help button, and then I had to wait about 30 minutes before someone came to get me out.  As you can imagine, I'm kind of put off by the elevators right now.

Wednesday started out with ME 2024, where we wrote a memo on the ice cream scoop project.  After that I walked with Daniel to the Kopy Korner on Main Street to print out lab manuals for ISE 2214.  After that we went by Wendy's for lunch. Then we went to Physics where we learned more about waves.

I walked back to Lee with Matt and then I worked on my Calculus homework and the ISE lab report.

Today, I started off with Material Science again.  Our proffessor still wasn't there so we watched Nova instead of having a lecture.  That was actually fun.  The proffessor will be back on Tuesday, so we can actually start learning.

After that I went to Durham Hall and had my interview for the Second Year Galileo Program.  The interview was with a group of five other students.  We had to work together to plan a dance for 250 Galipatia students.  Our group worked well together, and I think the interview went great.

Next, I had STS 1504 again.  Next week, instead of doing all of the readings, we get to choose one which we will discuss in class. This class just keeps getting better!

My last class of the day was Calculus, where we learned about limits and derivatives of equations with many variables.  It was actually a lot easier than I was expecting.

Finally, tonight I went back to the library to finish my lab report for ISE 2214.  I got food from DX again, but this time I took the stairs and actually made it up to my room this time.  Tonight I worked on my paper for STS 1504.

Tommorrow I'll be sure to post.  I won't have any work due the next day, so it shouldn't be too hard.  See you then.
