Sick of Homework
Ahh, it felt so good to finally be able to sleep in a bit this morning. It's so much nicer not having to wake up to an alarm for a change. I finally got my Firewire case ordered this morning. I'm planning on using it to hold the 120GB hard drive that's currently in my desktop machine, so that I'll have some extra portable storage to go with my laptop. But the case is big enough so that it could even have an optical drive of some sort, such as a DVD burner, should I choose to get one at some date in the future. It'd be nice if that would get here by Friday, since my parents are probably gonna be taking my desktop machine back with them when they come down to visit next weekend, but I'm not holding my breath.
Today was really nice out yet again. But what did I spend my day doing? Something outside, taking advantage of the beautiful weather? No, of course not. I was in Olin all afternoon doing E&M homework. The lame part is that I didn't even make it through two problems. Blah. Hopefully tomorrow goes better in the homework department, because I have a lot to do.
After supper tonight, Dave, Cory, Andy, Nate, Johan and I played some tackle football on the actual football field for an hour or two. Now that was fun! There was a lot of room to run (and hence not a whole lot of tackling going on) since it was just a 3-on-3 game (although we shortened the field to just 50 yards), and so Nate scored practically every time he touched the ball. He had a true football day though, as he wound up with a pretty good scratch on his back, grass stains on his shorts and shirt, a torn shirt, and a chipped tooth (which he chipped when he slid and his forehead slammed into my leg). All in all it was pretty awesome, and a good changeup from frisbee all the time. Hopefully we'll get some of the other physics folk to join us in playing that somewhat frequently as well this spring.
Then tonight I watched "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" with some people out in the section. Man, that movie starts out so strong in the first 15-20 minutes, but then just fizzles into mostly lameness, but it's still of course a classic. Did you know that moose bites can be pretti nasti? :-)
