I have seen Avatar in 3D. It was quite worth it, even if I did have a rather impressive eye strain headache by the end of it. It did take my eyes about an hour to even adjust enough to enjoy the 3D effects, but first hour is kind of dull anyway so no big loss.

Oooowwww... I just typed up a 56 minute transcript (which ended up being about 7 pages) of my grandfather talking about his experiences as a soldier during World War II. I did not expect it to take as much time and effort as it so far has; I have a whoooooole new respect for those Mystery Things (not sure if they are computers or people) that end ( Read more... )

I went swimming for the first time since Manda was here! Mom had to work at the Marshfield YMCA today for a whopping two hours, so I decided to tag along because I hate that I'm not getting much (if any) exercise of any sort anymore. I haven't gained much more weight, but I know I'm losing muscle tone and stuff and I miss having an excuse to walk ( Read more... )

::yawns:: Alas, this seems to be a bit of a theme - no sleep the night before a 8:00 am final, despite whether I'm anxious about it or not. For this one (Remote Sensing), really not all that anxious because I'm doing rather well in the class and would probably still swing a B even if I did bomb the final (which hopefully won't be the case). Still ( Read more... )

Taking a short study break because ow, my brain. Chemistry continues to kick my ass, and the final is tomorrow at 10:15. The good news is that even if it kicks my ass and my grade kicks the bucket, Chem qualifies as an elective on my transcripts, so I should still be able to graduate without much difficulty. Right now I'm kind of in the ( Read more... )

So, today after Remote Sensing (8-10) lab I did a bit of charcoal counting, then I wandered off to the UC in search of some lunch at a little after 11. Or at least I would have, had I not tripped down the stairs and end up twisting my ankle rather badly. Then of course I had to gimp halfway across campus to the Student Health Services, only to be ( Read more... )

Today I spent a good chunk of the afternoon quite literally crawling around under Coyote's hood (yes, I am in fact using "literally" in the proper sense - there are no pictures to prove this, but I had one knee on the container that holds the windshield washing fluid, another knee on the corner of the frame right above the passenger-side headlight ( Read more... )

My poster is starting to look like an actual poster instead of just a few text boxes on a big empty white sheet. Huzzah ( Read more... )

Oh, yeah, and I think I may have broke another toe. Or, well, cracked it at least ( Read more... )

Ow. Eye strain headache. Looking through a microscope for almost two hours straight=not fun. Kinda cool, but not fun ( Read more... )
