I Have To Find That Sword

All my shows are going on hiatus, and I don't like it. Tonight's Heroes was the last one for 6 weeks. They did make up for it with a great episode, though. I didn't get a chance to do my usual post-Heroes and Studio 60 discussion, however. That's half the fun of the shows.

Today was my last Inviscid Flow class. We watched movies. They were on reels and projected onto the wall. No kidding. They also had no sound, save for the click-click-click of the projector. Yup, Space Institute, cutting-edge research, century-old movie projector. To be fair, I'm sure this stuff is updated and available in modern formats, but Dr. Vakili knows these videos, so that's what he uses.

I don't want to make a PowerPoint for class tomorrow, but I have to. It's going to be horrible. Granted, the slides will be better than some of the slides from last week, because they'll have a background. I can't stand purely white slides unless they are mostly inhabited by pictures. Also, I'm trying real hard to be annoying, so I'll have random pictures of things which have no relevance to anything. I'm going to have fun with this, even if I don't want to do it.

I'm now eligible to graduate in May if my thesis gets approved. It won't, not in time to actually finish in May, but August is only a semester behind my original plan, which was ambitious for my project. I'm also going to end up taking an extra extra class. I was going to take one (Tactical Missle Design), and two of my committee really want me to take Convection, so I could audit one, but I'd rather just do the little bit of work and have both on my transcript as completed. Also, they should pad my GPA and help that B+ out. Stupid ODE essay exam.

AIM seemed to go crazy this morning. I don't know what it was doing. It seems better now. More tomorrow.
