Devil's Advocate

A term which derived from the process of bestowing sainthood within the Catholic Church. One of the group who makes the decision is appointed "Devil's Advocate" to speak against the sainthood of the person in question. My blog is educational as well as fun.

Classes are still going. Dr. Kupershmidt has added a class Wednesday morning, November 29. This will be the second class "ahead" we will be. This is because he might miss a class or two in December. Well, there is only one class in December, and we already have one extra class from this Wednesday. So now he's just adding classes to the schedule. Lee is going to mention that to him so that he doesn't do more work than he's getting paid for.

Lee and Heather had to characterize a lot of carbon fibers, so I had the between class time to work on things. Such things as Facebook, email, and instant messenger. The three of us went to lunch in the cafeteria. It was average for the cafeteria, which is really pretty decent. I got free fried okra.

Inviscid is getting into more interesting topics, but it's still a lot of useless to get there. I like the class and am still glad I took it rather than Rockets 3, but I wish it were a little more useful and fewer pure derivations.

I really enjoy playing Devil's Advocate. It's great to say anything you want, then say, "hey, I'm just playing Devil's Advocate here." More tomorrow.
