The Importance of Sisters and Margaritas This Holiday Season

All I wanted to do was print out seven 11x17 pages this afternoon. I was handing in my final project for one of the seminars I took this semester and, after working all night, I was happy with the final results. But the printers just couldn't pull it off for me this afternoon. I was racing against the clock and I had left an hour and a half to print.

I barely made it. And the race involved me realizing I had left my wallet at home, that I only had 3.25 in quarters, and that wasn't going to be enough to print out my project. I almost cried in the department office when the administrative assistant dug through her purse to find the extra 1.75 that I needed to print everything.

Because I was so worked up I called Leah and she suggested margaritas. Now I'm feeling fine...ready to tackle that last paper.

Woodies

It was the two hours in the 12 degree weather that made up my mind. I had been waffling back and forth over whether or not to take the second semester of "Ornamental Woodies" and the thought of taking walks at 8:00 a.m. in January and February weather made the repercussions of my ultimate decision seem minor. No one has ever successfully petitioned for an independent study for this class and it seems foolish to think that I might be the first person to do so, but I CAN NOT take the second semester...Plus I might be close to failing the first semester, which does not build my case, but since the class is cumulative for the year it might be best if I get out while I can.

Plus there's two seminars I want to take and they seem more important to my academic goals. Yeah, that's going to be part of my petition.

That's it because it is 4:05 in the morning.

Whatever You Want To Call It

Me: So I would make up the verticle curve like I did on my horizontal?

(pause)

Site Engineering Professor: Design it. You would design the verticle curve like you designed your horizontal.

Me: Heh.
