7:30 - Roofers. And they didn't finish today. They did give me a roof over the living room (under the tarp was nothing but framing and insulation), so I can't be too mad. And I was going to get up about then anyway. All I can say is that they better finish by tomorrow or Lee will be hurting someone. But probably not the roofers since they are big and have muscles.
Math - Dr. Kupershimdt covered problems today, if you can call it that. He did a couple of the problems on the board, ranted, raved, talked about Archimedes, raved a little more, discussed a proof related to a problem rather than the problem itself, and ranted again. We covered some ground, but not so effectively. Even Amy (math major from UTK if I haven't mentioned her here before), who loves Kupershmidt's teaching enthusiasm, said it wasn't his best day.
Interclass break - Rich (Candian Air Force officer / spy) stopped by the office to go over some Inviscid homework. Amy stopped by as well. Lee and I had the work done; they asked questions. Productive for them, I'd guess. I'm always glad to help people. That, to me, is better than getting the problem right myself.
Inviscid - Dr. Vakili derived (derove?) the Continuity and Momentum equations for a general inviscid fluid. These equations form the basis for the rest of the semester. Not the derivations - no one really cares how they work, so long as they do. That took all class, and homework explanations got pushed back, again.
After class, I watched TV, cooked dinner, ate, got some stuff from the store, watched the Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip premiere (previously downloaded), and then I blogged. Another study session tomorrow morning. More tomorrow.
