Well hey, guess whose Vector Calc class finally has an entry on Blackboard.
Friday, October 30, 2009
You know something's up when I start liking my scientific calculator better than my TI-89. Intuitive fractions go a long way.

Really Math book? The answer is sqrt(52)?

It sounds like Google Voice finally lets you keep your old phone number. And none too soon; my voicemail is dangerously close to being full.
Sunday, October 25, 2009

It sounds like all the heaters on my floor got together and started a band.
Friday, October 9, 2009
Why must all forum threads devolve into flame wars? Or, in an alternate interpretation, why did the Romans invent flame wars?
hates to admit that Shiny Toy Guns' cover of "Burnin' for You," while a complete bastardization of the original, is pretty catchy in places.
currently has his dorm room's window open and heater on. Score one for equilibrium.

No one's in the lounge, and most of the washers and driers are open. Where the heck is everyone?
If you wake up early, then you get to use the awesome shower with the little shelf.

Dang, campus sure is dead at 8pm.
Monday, September 28, 2009
just checked Woot at just about the eariest time possible. Too bad it's just a portable mixer.
totally had a TA who blended into the crowd and popped out when class started. Undercover TA!
First day of classes! ...Which would be a lot more impressive if we weren't the second to last school to start classes.
Sunday, September 27, 2009

Tuesday, September 22, 2009
is at OSU, where even the sprinklers have little orange caps.
Monday, September 21, 2009
Just took a shower. On the wall there was a Post-it note with the word "caulk" on it. Nice to know even the bathroom humor of McNary is something else.
Sunday, September 20, 2009
Today, I moved into OSU. Tomorrow, I unpack.
Being a comments fan, I experience the devastation firsthand. At least now I know which of my friends would open a suspicious looking video.

Today, my friend introduced me to MLIA. I haven't stopped reading them long enough to thank her yet. MLIA.
Who knew Genesis games were so small?

just looked at the all-time win/loss percentages of NFL teams and realized that even the best only win 57.8% of the time.
Does Skype make a little noise when you close it or did I just freak out and imagine something just now?

finally got his wireless router to work after at least 5 restarts. I think it just wants me to know who's in charge.
Connor Yoshio Smith thinks everyone should donate their old/extra cell phones to the Portland Women's Crisis Line to help victims of domestic abuse. Westview students can put usable/nonusable cell phones into a plastic bag, preferably with chargers, and deposit them into pink and brown containers in the Westview library. Non-westview students can give the cell phones to Camille and only Camille. Thanks! -Awareness to Action
