Pumpkin is not just a pet name for your significant other...

So, yeah, I had time last night to carve my pumpkin that I bought. Here's a good picture of it. But that's about all the time I have to write, because I have to read a selection for speech, preferably before speech starts!!!

Forecast: Really Cold.

So, yeah, its pretty much freezing here. But I'm sitting here in my nice warm dorm room, with my hands resting on my pleasantly warm computer, and the soothing, crisp, pleasant sounds of Jars of Clay restoring my ears from their frostbitten state. Oh my.
So I have a Chemistry test tonight, but I really don't want to take it. Yes, I'm pretty much ready, but I just don't want to take it. I've really been putting it off. Yes, I put off studying on Saturday, even though I had time after the AMAZING half-time show the band did (making up for the football team's lousy performance on the field). Yes, I just sat around and watched a movie. And yes, I slept in really really late on Sunday. I did study Sunday afternoon, and then I went to church sunday night. Then after church I just wasted time again.... I walked down to the shopping center where EB games, Starbucks, Panera, and Borders are, and I walked around Borders for a nice change of pace. It was really relaxing.
Today, I'm going to go get a pumpkin, in the hopes that I will have the time, the patience, and the tools to carve something neat. But maybe I won't. At any rate, I'll still have a pumpkin.
Mmmm, I love the smell of winter. Its just so crisp and clean, and you can smell the snow on the air... I walked outside after church, and there I caught it, it was mostly dark outside, and a chilly breeze was blowing, but I could smell a Hoosier winter on the air... there's nothing like that feeling of knowing that snow, winter, coats, jackets, blankets, beanies, snowmen, Christmas, all of the above are just around the corner. mmmmmm.
So P.K. Imbrie, my engineering professor, said our next project was coming out sometime this week, and it was going to be a lot harder than the other two projects we've done so far. Yay.... hopefully it will actually involve programming... its supposed to involve robots, and programming the robots... i'll keep you posted on that one.
Anyway, so details have been requested about this Engineering 126H class... its proper name is "Engineering Problem Solving and Computer Tools", and basically its divided up into a lecture, where we learn about engineering problem solving methods, and how to think and learn like an engineer, and learn statistic and curve-fitting methods and stuff, and then a lab where we learn various computer tools: MATLAB and Excel mostly, though we done some UNIX command line stuff, and we'll be getting into some VBA stuff that is worked into excel, so basically macros and editing macros with VBA. But it's definately the class that requires the most work, and it takes a lot of hours outside of class. One team meeting for Morris the "Mach" Boilermaker Special lasted from 8 p.m. til' 2 a.m.
Well, that's all I can think of for the moment.
