Diff EQ is an easy class, i'm probably going to test out of it. calc 2 was much harder, calc 3 comparable. neither of these hold a candle to some of the 500 level and 600 level stuff.

I guess I'm the opposite; calculus was a breeze for me.

Differential Equations was cake. I took it with Calculus 3 in a combined class in one semester and breezed through it.

Diff E2, on the other hand, was a freak show. Bag that class. Of course, maybe that was just because we had the hardest teacher in the EE department (yep, only offered through EE and not the Math department).

Cool. Our school team is going to snow sculpting finals on March 9th. We got bronze in the local contest.

Why cannot vinyl be clearly marked!??!?

So, I went and bought a toxic holocaust LP today. On the back it says "side Radiation" and "Side Fallout". I take the record out and this is what i see:

So after spending about 3 minutes looking at it, i finally decide that the second picture is side a and the top picture is side b. Why the fuck can't you just put an "A" on one side and a "B" on the other? Fuck.

Because one's a radiation symbol, and the other is the symbol for fallout?

It's not a big event here. There was this local competition and me & my friends decided to take part in it. We did it just for fun so the bronze metal was a big bonus.

We did a cheesy wardrobe&lion-statue, over 3 meters tall. Kids loved it though and it was actually the main criteria for the final product.
