A Checklist

Today, I...

1. Survived my second day in Engineering Project Management class. My team turned in our project roles, and I am now the Project Manager.

2. Sat through a seminar given by a visiting Ph.D. who was being considered for the LeTourneau Chemistry/Physics department. I discovered that I knew nothing of multiscale coupling and nanometer physics before the seminar, and now I understand possibly two vague ideas about the subject.

3. Survived frisbee golf out in almost 100 degree weather for over an hour.

4. Tripped a breaker in my apartment when I was performing an electrical experiment... *ahem* I mean testing something out.

And, I feel like I have done almost nothing all day. Honestly, this is the slowest start to a semester I have ever had.

Rain, rain, rain... you know the rest.

Of the 4 days I have been in Longview Texas, it has rained 3 of those days. I conclude that Longview is a rainy location OR it is abnormally rainy in Longview for this time of year.
