Afternoon Tea
Back from Uni. Had one hell of a time parking today, was so ticked off. Still, managed to make it in time for one of the coolest lectures I've been to in a while. Would you believe that now I am able to create a paper aeroplane without so much effort as adding a few paperclips (no folding!)? I wouldn't have believed it myself, but with the cool demonstration the Peter Gibbens had on today - I will make you a believer.
Without getting into the theory behind it - basically you need to grab a small piece of paper and some paper clips. At the 'front' of the paper (choose the longer side as the front), place as many paper clips as you want (depending on the size - you might need anywhere from 4-15). Try and make it so that the paper has a slight curvature. Now fly it! If it tries to turn over, you've got the paper upside down. Turn it over and try again. If you're careful with how you do it, you will create a really graceful flying machine.
Yup, thats what we did most of today's lecture for Aero 3560. It was so cool. Propulsion (with Srinivas) was boring as hell, and I've nothing to report from that. I just wanted to blog the Aero 3560 lecture thing. Anyway, drove home and now I'm eating caramel slice and drinking coffee. I'll probably watch one episode of Sliders and then get stuck into my homework for tonight (mostly catch-up Aero 3560).
Oh yeah, Daniel and Scot were like "What the hell?!!" when they saw my lip. It sucks, its friggin huge. I walked into the lecture and the first thing they bloody do is stare at me like I've got lepracy or something. Sucks man, I want to get acid and burn it off. Mind you, I was able to 'pop' some of it this morning, which was cool. Didn't hurt a bit either.
Lastly, if you're getting sick of reading my 50 updates a day (don't worry, it'll die back down to 2 a day pretty quickly) then just delete me from your friends list for a little bit. I've already had one complaint and I'm pretty sure I'll have others. Like I said to Clare, I'm using this to procrastinate - so if its bothering you just shut me up or skip all my useless ramblings. I don't intend on stopping because hey, this is my website.
Anyway, Sliders calls.
