Classes officially ended today, and I just turned in my last class project (yay for being able to just email in the final report). I'm very excited to be done with the hard part. Now I just have finals left. :)
We're going to celebrate by going to see Brothers Grimm again tonight, before it leaves the dollar theater. Studying for finals can wait until tomorrow.
Yay! Celebrate!!
We can't think of anything we did this week. At all. :) I mean, besides work and school, of course. We even worked on class projects and my thesis proposal on Friday night, which is usually date night. Oh, we rented Madagascar and watched that, but we were working on other things while we watched. But the good news is, we're almost done with the semester! Yay! We've almost officially survived. For what that's worth. read more »
Sundays are such great days. I really love them. I feel so rejuvinated after a good Sunday.
Two more weeks of school. I don't know how we're going to finish what we need to in that time, but at least then it will be over and we can look back at everything, instead of feeling its weight on our shoulders. read more »
This week we've worked on survival. For today, we each prepared a lesson for our classes and a talk for Sacrament meeting, and were glad to hear they didn't need us to speak in the East Lake care center after all. I guess they have a branch in the local care center, and each ward in the stake alternates who is responsible for providing people to talk, pass the sacrament, and help the folks to the meeting room (down the hall from all of their rooms). They had booked two sets of speakers accidentally, so I just attended with the young women and got to listen. read more »
Rebecca spent most of this week programming and finishing her project at the last possible minute. It was especially tricky because she had mutual on Wednesday evening. For mutual, they did a "cultural heritage" night and each girl brought in something that related to thier cultural heritage. Rebecca decided to bring in a buttercreme cake and talk about Germany. The cake was a huge success (one of the girls wanted the recipe) and I only got a piece by luck. read more »
Among a fringe community of paranoids, aluminum helmets serve as theprotective measure of choice against invasive radio signals. Weinvestigate the efficacy of three aluminum helmet designs on a samplegroup of four individuals. Using a $250,000 network analyser, we find that although on average allhelmets attenuate invasive radio frequencies in either directions(either emanating from an outside source, or emanating from thecranium of the subject), certain frequencies are in fact greatlyamplified. read more »
It's amazing how just one short weekend can set you back so far in school/work. I think it's a combination of not working on homework and work projects for 3 days, plus falling behind on sleep due to 2 15 hour drives. At any rate, one of my professors on Tuesday asked me how I was doing (since I got to the classroom a few minutes early and he likes to chit-chat with the early birds), and I replied that I was tired. He didn't think I should be tired because "you got an extra hour of sleep, didn't you?" Ha. Ha. Very funny. read more »
I found this quote on engadget.com. read more »
If corporations are legally considered 'persons', why are we not able to prosecute them as legal 'persons'? I know it sounds childish, naive, etc., but shouldn't corporations go to jail for theft, obstruction of justice and even second degree manslaughter?
