Everyone in the world is getting sick. It started with Jon and proceeded to Vaso and now a bunch of people on our floor. Somehow, though, both Vaso and Laura have whatever's going around, yet it hasn't transferred itself to me yet. My immune system's power is awesome.
I've simply been tired often, despite getting more sleep than usual this week (possibly somehow related to Daylight Savings Time). Yesterday was fairly bad, although I think I'm gradually getting better to adapting to a heavy workload. I was effectively engaged from 9:30 AM to 9:00 PM: class from 9:30 until 12:20, then lunch, a nap to survive the rest of the day, helping Laura with photography, SAGES, dinner, and physics lab. Lab was actually a relief, though, as it seemed crazy-short. We actually spent extra time in lab after we finished the data collection to perform the analysis, so effectively all we need to do is write the report rather than finishing half the lab the day before it's due.
As for other work: my previous roll of film actually developed fine last week, but I boned up the prints I was making. Fortunately, I think I'll have every project finished (developed) as of tonight, and I'll just have to print the results. In theory, it shouldn't take very long at all (barring any more stupidity on my part like dirty negatives). Here's hoping I can pull an A in this class because I think it'll be likely that I drop to a B in Calculus.
Our Engineering test today wasn't nearly as hilarious as the previous two due to me actually having a small inkling of the material we had covered (though a few problems were complete stumpers - ENGR 145 is interesting in that you can do very very well just by having a lot of equations at your disposal and plugging in stuff but do very very poorly if you forget that one equation you thought you didn't need but is half the test material). At least I'll do better than the 55.4% I collected on last Friday's physics exam - I'll let the professor deal with that when the time comes to curve the class (class average for that test: 46%). The only things I have to deal with in the next week or so are photography tonight, a physics lab report which will be a piece of cake, and a SAGES paper due Monday on who-knows-what; I have yet to decide the topic. I'm looking forward to getting done with all of my work and everyone getting less disease ridden.
Classwork aside, the biggest news of the last few days is Apple's release of the Boot Camp public beta. Apple-sanctioned Windows XP on MacBooks = woot. Windows XP, with appropriate drivers, apparently runs about as well as a comparably powerful Windows laptop. This is excellent news; none of this Virtual PC stuff any more. All I require now is a MacBook and I'll be set.
Also, my fantasy baseball team needs to play better. First place for a day left me with a desire for fresh blood / home runs.
