Wow its been a really long time... since I last updated this thing... I think I might have forgotten about it... oops
Any who... um... well last quarter didn't go as bad as it could have gone... but I am definitely more optimistic about this quarter... which is weird 'cause usually winter quarter is the worst... the classes that I am taking are as follows:
Chem 102-1, Inorganic Chemistry
Gen_Eng 205-4, Engineering Analysis 4
Civ_Eng 216, Mechanics of Materials
Psych_337, Human Sexuality
As you can imagine... the only class that is interesting right now is Human Sexuality... its definitely and entertaining class... and even if it wasn't about sex... it's still more interesting than figuring out how much a steel bar will deform when you place a force on it... But I'm really trying to pay attention... because as I future Engineer/Doctor... I'm supposed to do the job right... so rest assured... I will learn my stuff...
At first I was scared of Mechanics because it was going to be similar to a class I took last year... EA 2 and I barely survived that class... plus this time I wasn't going to have my friends with me to do homework/labs/study with cause only two guys I know are in the class... and I don't really talk to them much or see much of them around campus... except for the few times they actually show up to class... but I was doing our homework assignment by myself last week and to my astonishment I was able to figure out most of not all the problems on my own!!! Then the few questions I had the TA answered them with ease.... so I'm feeling pretty good about it right now.. but who knows how long it will last... hopefully all quarter!
New Year, New Quarter, Same Troubles...

Evil!

Well its official....
EA 3 is kicking my butt! I've fallen so far behind and the quarter is quickly beginning to slip away!! Last week's problem set wasn't too bad because there were only 2 problems and they were both MATLAB problems so it was just plugging in numbers and plotting graphs. This Week... 4 problems and it took forever to do!!!
("Why Tom, Why!" is an inside jokemy and my EXCEL summer program friends have...)
(Tom was our EA 1 professor in during the summer program...
we would shout the phrase when we would assign homework or give us tests)
This week won't be as bad as the last 2 weeks.... cause midterms are a thing of the past... and the future.... since next week I apparently have a Sociology test and an EA "Quiz."
Oh God, how I despise engineering. Someone needs to remind me why I'm doing this to myself!!

Fright Fest!
.
Well this Saturday was all about going to Six Flags Fright Fest!
And apparently that's what this weekend was all about for the entire state of Illinois!!! The park was packed with people.... I don't think I've ever seen that many people at the park at once, that's including the summer... but I'm happy to say it was still lots of fun... I got to go with my sister and two cousins... we spent most of our time checking out the stage shows (there was a pretty good hypnosis show) and looking to get scared by zombies. We enjoyed haunted houses and mazes... all in all it was a good day.
