A Week in Review

Oh dear, it seems I've left all my faithful readers out there high and dry for the last week, and for that I am truly sorry. However, let me give you a little run down of some exciting (and not so exciting) things that have happened over the last week or so:

1. I made pie with my dearest sister, and watched a charming movie about ballet.

2. My math midterm did not go so well, and I know why and how to fix it.

3. Engineering is getting easier

4. My schedule is getting more full.

5. The internet is WAY too easy to spend a lot of time on.

so, to expound a little on these things:

1. Pie is tasty, but not necessarily when it's made from cans. My mother makes the best pie crust, and I cannot wait for Christmas break, when I will get to have some.

2. I got one point away from a C, and I know exactly how to get a much better score on the final (which she will count twice and drop the midterm if it's better, which it will be).

3. I went to a presentation on the track in Electrical Engineering that I am interested, and it is exactly what I want to do. Originally, when I came to OSU, I thought I would have to do the Energy Systems track, which would leave me somewhat with a lot of extra course work for not the thing I really wanted to do. So, this new track, called Sustainable and Renewable Energy, is exactly what I want to do, and they've created it just in time for me to get on track to take all the right core classes I need to get into the pro school (you apply after your sophomore year to get into the "pro" school, before you're just in the "pre-engineering program").

4. My schedule is getting a little bit more full, now adding Pirates of Penzance (we open on Thursday with only 5 rehearsals from the pit, 3 with actors! This is MUCH different from what I'm used to...) as well as TSA (The Student Abolitionists, a group to raise awareness about human trafficking) and InterVarsity (a small group in my dorm and large-group on Wednesday nights). However, this is not interfering with my homework doing, as I still have the mornings and all day Thursday and a lot of other times to work and keep up.

5. The internet is very easy to waste time on. I have found a site called stumbleupon.com, where it gives me random things, be it a video, a random picture, a game or whatnot just with a single click, something I've found to be quite dangerous as I once wasted about 2 hours on it, so I now avoid that. Also, Google Reader is a very handy invention, but some of my subscriptions update too frequently, so I've removed those so I can spend less time on it.

So, avid fans, that is my week (albeit briefly) in review. There was obviously a lot more that happened, but we'll stick to the important things, like homemade pie, and how amazing God is :)
