IT'S YOU SOLIDWORKS !!

It was a crazy week. I had two tests. Thus, I did not write. I have the SolidWorks retake tonight. Thus, this post will be somewhat incoherent. Props to you if you understand any of it. So here goes...

SolidWorks is lame, let me get that out of the way. I had no idea how to use it until 7p.m. last Monday. Which is unfortunate because I was tested on it from 5p.m. to 7p.m. But what can I say, I'm a Geo major. We're not supposed to care about MechE programs...unless we understand it, and then we just do it for fun 'cause we're nerds. I even started an unofficial club Geophysicists Against SolidWorks. It's the next big thing, I tell ya. Let me drop this on you- this is what it sounds like to take SolidWorks:

IN AD FALL 2011 SEMESTER STRESS WAS BEGINNING
WHAT HAPPEN?
SOMEONE SET US UP THE PROGRAM
WE GET SIGNAL
WHAT !
MAIN SCREEN TURN ON
IT'S YOU SOLIDWORKS !!
HOW ARE YOU STUDENTS !!
ALL YOUR EXTRUDED BASE ARE BELONG TO US
YOU ARE ON THE WAY TO FAILING AND GETTING A B IN EPICS
WHAT YOU SAY !!
YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO SKETCH MAKE YOUR TIME
HA HA HA HA ....
TAKE OFF EVERY UNDEFINED PART !!
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DOING
MAKE TANGENT
FOR GREAT JUSTICE

Again, props to you if you get it. You either are here at Mines already, or you should be. 

Another thing Geophysics majors are supposed to hate is Chemistry.  I don't though, and especially with Racicot teaching it, I don't think anyone hates it. Lab kinda sucks- even more so depending on your TA. I kinda suck and am the last one to finish. But I calculated my labs and I think I might have a B. Which is good. I just really need a B on this past test, which was really long and no one had time to finish. It makes me mad because I wanted an A so badly. I haven't gotten an A on any test yet. I got an A on some EPICS assignments, but those don't really count. Bleh. Oh yeah, here's our filter we're building. It's pretty legit. 

But yeah, I studied so hard for Chem. Sigh. That book is falling apart. 

 One more day of classes, just one more day. Then I go back home for Thanksgiving Break. I am so stoked beyond words for Thanksgiving. I love Thanksgiving, but there is one thing that makes me swoon: the thought of all the good food my mom is going to make. Heck. Yes. Ahem, but uh yeah, I love Thanksgiving and am excited to spend time with family and study for the Calc test. 

Oh, that. Yeah- we have a test right after Thanksgiving, which makes the cranberry sauce turn into lamesauce. Bleh.
