Physics weekend: done.
8th week: done.
Money earned during stated time periods: ~$110.
Somehow, everyone I came into contact today had something really weird and irreparable happen to something in close proximity to them while I was around. For example, my roommate turned a desk light on in our room right before I came in, and the light exploded all over the place. One of the people in my physics class was totally unable to get a graph to plot correctly on her presentation even though the code was the exact same stuff that the professor used. And my girlfriend somehow managed to get water underneath her "t" and "y" keys, so that now they read as "e" and "r", respectively. Therefore, she couldn't actually log onto her computer at all and so I lent her my keyboard, meaning that now I'm using my laptop keyboard (which is awkwardly positioned relative to my chair).
And to top it all off, a friend and I spent over 90 minutes on one calculus problem, during which we actually derived our own formula for double integrals that made more sense than those the book gave us. Tomorrow the prof will probably do it in 3 minutes at the beginning of class without issues. Go figure.
To add to all the fun I've been having, we got a whole bunch of new snow today. I think the total on the ground is somewhere around 10" now, which isn't bad.
