(no subject)
This story is now about a week old, but I feel it needs to be told again for posterity.
So about a week ago, I made tollhouse chocolate chip cookies (with walnuts thanks). I stuck them on a plate to cool, and planned to place the plate in the fridge, though there was no space at the time. The plate was left overnight on the kitchen table. The next morning my roommate Jeff walks out of his room to go to the bathroom, late for class. As he walks through the kitchen he does a double take as his eye's scan past the kitchen table. Standing over the plate of cookies, was a large squirrel with chocolate chip cookie in hand. The squirrel jumps off the table to the nearby open window and clings to the inside of the screen. It's then that Jeff notices the two inch wide hole knawed through the screen that the squerril must have come in though. Having no time to deal with this he knocks on my door, but gets no answer (I was asleep still) and assumes that I had gone to class. He wakes up my other roommate Geoff (he doesn't currently attend classes so was gaurenteed to be there) and asks him to deal with it. By the time Geoff is in any shape to deal with the squerril, it had escaped though another hole (apparently it couldn't make it back out the hole it came in though.
All in all, that was one waste of cookie making, as most of them had been nibbled, scratched, torn, shreaded, or otherwise made inedible by the squerril.
Ok, so it was a boring story, but later Julie (Jeff's girlfriend who has an artistic streak) made a single panel comic of the episode. With a little punk squerril with a 'bling' cookie necklace and everything.
In other news, I got pictures of the room, but they suck, so I'm going to try to get more today. We'll see how that goes. I need a job badly because I have no money. Send me money. Or a job offer. I'd prefer the second really. Also, I have an MQP. It's boring to talk about, but important to note. I'll be working with Pratt and Whitney to develope models which charactarize grain boundry and gamma prime development during sub-solvus heat treatment of a powdered metal superalloy known as IN-100. It's going to be minimal research, maximum lab work, doing experimental heat treatment and examining the microstructure of samples under high magnification. That's all I'll ever force you lj people to know about it. THe career fair went well, perhaps I'll get a job at Raytheon when I leave WPI, maybe somewhere else completely. We'll see.
