It's 2:30, You Can Stop 15 Minutes Ago

Tuesdays are going to be evil, evil, evil days. My only "class" is at 1PM, which would tend toward a good thing. The problem is that if I sleep in, I almost have to fit both breakfast and lunch between about 10 and 12. If I don't sleep in, I've wasted an opportunity to sleep in. The class at 1 is Dr. Antar's Heat Transfer I course, which isn't a bad class, and I'm liking Dr. Antar alright, but he apparently doesn't know how to tell time. Class is scheduled from 1 - 2:15 (Tuesday and Friday). Today, he quit lecturing at 2:35. I didn't have anywhere to be (Lee did), but 75 minutes of class is plenty long enough. I started to wonder if it was a test to see if anyone would stop him. No one did. He kept making one more point. Just one more point. One quick point. One more little point. One last point. A final last point.

Then, another break in the day. Back to the apartment for food and some lounging, then back to school at 6PM for my wonderful technical writing course. I just love learning how to write technically. From an English teacher. Who has no clue what technical writing really is. Oh, I'm sure she's knowledgeable, and she seems nice enough, but spouting off the definition of technical writing and teaching the producrion of it to graduate engineering students is vastly different. Especially if not everyone starts with English as a native language. And, the class is more a "workshop" with us writing in teams, which means it could boil down to about 3 people doing all the work. And there's going to be plenty of that. A homework assignment for every class, with a 75% minimum grade on all aspects (attendance and participation included) to pass (pass / fail grading). At least all 3 CBU alum are in the class. We'll rule the school by the time Brent and (hopefully) I graduate in May, leaving Lee to rule in our absence.

The usual Wednesday holy day off has been violated for tomorrow. Dr. Kupershimdt has demanded our presence at 4PM to make up for the fact that he's skipping on Thursday. At least I still get to sleep in tomorrow, and Thursday since math is my morning class, and Friday before class and my drive to Memphis. Not such a bad trade, but I'd prefer a day off rather than a lighter Thursday.

Is anybody out there? More tomorrow.
