5 tests in just as many school days was pretty nasty. Add multiple-hour homework on-top of that, and attempting to have a life and you get yourself a dilemma. I survived the first battery. Astromechanics test was difficult. Pick 4 out of 5 work out problems to do in 50 minutes. So slightly more than 12 minutes a question. Keep in mind homework for this class took about 8 hours for just as many questions. I didn’t have enough time, so if it comes down to it and that grade is not a B or greater by the end of the semester, before the final, I’m withdrawing and becoming just a plain ol’ ocean engineer. That is, as long as work doesn’t have a problem with that. Tonight was my first night to really just relax, only having one thermodynamics homework assignment, which usually take less than an hour to do (I’ll do it in the morning).

It’s surprising that you can actually have some fun doing homework assignments. A group of us OE’s (and the occasional AE) get together in one of the conference rooms in the library to work on homework. As weird as it may sound, we actually have fun (for the most part) doing the boring/hard-as-hell engineering homework. And more importantly we help each other out. The library may as well just give us an office there, or the keys to the building. Two nights this week they actually had to kick us out after closing time.

Not too much of that has been happening. Saturday was a lot of fun (and not because of the game). Tomorrow (Friday) I’m playing tackle football for the first time in a while. Should be a lot of fun. Hopefully I won’t break anything. I also learned a song on piano. Meaning by Gavin DeGraw. I figured out the piano-only intro on it, I can play it at about 3/4 speed. And now it’s time to goto sleep so I can do my homework tomorrow morning.

Rock out…
