That’s a…pie chart.
That guy’s only wearing a newspaper OH MY GOD!
…quartiled to death…
I’m shouting and I don’t know why!
Yeah, I can do a graph. Who cares?
Whoop whoop, it’s the sound of the police!

Rule for the Noble Kitchen:  Always have two rolls of aluminum foil open at once.  Two weeks ago I finished a roll, only to find this morning that another open roll has taken its place.  The labels are slightly different, but only due to label change over time because we don’t go through foil that often (which I guess is why two open rolls is so distressing to me).  Also included in this photo, helpful cat head that knows this drawer also contains catnip.

Entertaining musings, quotes, and such as of Day 1 of Spring 2011 at college:

  • “Food science is why there is air in my potato chip bags” - MAT162 prof
  • “He had me email him at monkey fucker at AOL.” - ENG102 prof
  • EGR115 prof’s only acknowledgement that I was in the room (had a class of his before) was when he looked straight at me while telling the class that you probably won’t be able to do the work on a netbook with the screen dimmed as low as possible, which is something I often did and he complained to me about when I tried to hand him my computer to review C code last semester.
  • Oh, and I dated the girl that sits in front of me in MAT162 back in 2005, back when I lived in Philly for a month and a half.  She’s a story that I haven’t told very often, and afterwards I realized I should have said something to the effect of “I apologize if I seem impolite, but I just need to wrap my head around the fact that you still exist.”
  • I had a noticeable adrenaline rush begin at 3 PM that hasn’t subsided yet, which I believe is linked in someway to either SolidWorks specifically or school as a whole.  I could fight a bear right now.

Part two of part one of my second run at a college education begins in roughly sixteen hours.  I have already had a problem with my English class, suddenly discovering it is a hybrid class and that I might not see my professor face-to-face the entire semester.  I’m optimistic, though, not only because of my familiarity with the school this time around, but because of the caliber of teachers I get.  No music teacher that just wants to show us YouTube videos.  No math teacher that can’t draw a proper Pascal’s Triangle…hopefully.  Just some solid, 2 day/week learning.  Now to swallow my pride and spend too much money on books.
