one little two little three little indians
So after two days of classes, my arms are brooooooooooooown. (My face is more red, but that is irrelevant).
I have ridden my bike several times. It does not do to say that it is nice being on top of the hill for bike riding privileges. Want to go to the Quad for lunch? Jump on the bike. You'll be there in a fraction of the time. I went out for another ride this evening just for the exercise. My legs got sooooooooo stiff :D (so I stretched them to cool down!).
Stu and Mike and I went to "Hype Night" at the campus fitness facility. There were several activities you could do to earn a t-shirt, few of them strenuous. I owned stu and mike in bean bag toss (made it in the hole 1/8 times, landed on the board about 1/2 the rest of the time). We checked out some of the intramurals; the martial arts were very tempting, but I only gave my e-mail out to the volleyball kids. Then we stepped away from the mic to breathe deep and sat down at the oxygen bar. The scents left something to be desired, but the headiness when you stood up again was delicious. Then stu and I got a picture in front of the eiffel tower (photoshopped), and I asked the man running the table if he'd save the original picture with the background removed on my thumbdrive and he did, so I did some photoshopping of my own back home and have the picture I wanted to badly to get in france :)))))))
Anyways, classes today were Statics and Materials. The materials book made me really excited for the subject, and the professor doesn't diminish that any (except he made a big deal of the book having a lot of errors and typos but he made quite a few himself). Statics however. Phew. I plan to take it very seriously.
(statics is the study of forces on objects and is basically the central idea of mechanical engineering. materials is the study of how materials' structures and chemistry relate to their properties and how to choose them for appropriate situations and is the second central idea of mechanical engineering).
Did my laundry tonight pretty painlessly, though I haven't put my clothes up yet. I bought student tickets to the home games and got some stuff at walmart. This initial week of not having drills or labs is going to spoil me for the semester I'm afraid :(
