Ninjas Don't Bounce

Ah, The Tick. Funny, funny show.

Yesterday: Heat Transfer covered an interesting problem that dealt with Bessel Eigenfunctions. "What are those?" you may ask. Don't. They are the solutions to these differential equations of a particular form with particular boundary conditions, which are very common in cylindrical coordinates. Then you have to do something else in order to completely solve the problem. I'm not about that last step, we flew through it Tuesday. It involves the orthogonality condition, which is not a helpful description at all.

Tuesday night is Technical Writing, which is a huge waste of time. We did some things related to citations, then a grammar thing, and some more stupid things related to other stupid things. I hate that class. HATE.

After class, we watched Monster House at Amy's and met her new pug, Sammy. He didn't seem to be in a great mood, and I have to feel for the guy - he'd just been fixed. He liked me, though. He wouldn't let Lee pet him at all. It was funny, he'd walk over to Lee, Lee would reach out to pet him, and Sammy would walk away. Then Sammy would go to his bed and snore with his eyes open. We didn't know if he was sleeping or not. At least the little guy has a nice home now, even if it cost him his manhood.

Today: no classes, no seminar. Lee worked on his Technical Writing paper some, mostly more research, I think. I did nothing except sit around and watch TV. It was all that I could have wanted. Now, it must end, and I must go to class again tomorrow. Rotten luck. More tomorrow.
