10/30/15 Happy Halloween

Today was quite fun. I had my history of the world class and mechanics of materials class, but I dressed up as a shiny oddish. I painted my face green, wore green (or greenish yellow), and held a fake fern behind my head. Before my history class, I waited outside the room where one of the building plants would be if one was there, and pretended to be a plant. A lot of people thought I was a pineapple. Oh well. I also had my honors society meeting, and there was a costume contest. I didn't win, but that's because the winner had a GREAT Hellboy costume, with a working hand. It was really cool. Since you probably want to see it, here's my shiny oddish costume.

Today was pretty good. I drove to class, but realized I left my wallet at my dorm, so I had to ride the bus back to main campus. I had a digital logic test, and it went really well. I had my health and wellness class, and it was good. I might have also recruited a new member for my pokemon club. Yay. I also had my film club, and we filmed a promo real. Looking forward to seeing it. Later.

Today was great. My parents came to visit, and they gave me some stuff, and I gave them some stuff. They came to church with me, and then we went out to lunch. It was good. I was going to film a lets play with my film club, but no one showed up. Oh well. I did my homework and followed through on some job leads. I watched Fox Sunday, and it was fun. Later.

10/22/15

Sorry I've been gone for a while. Life and stuff. I had my digital logic class, office hours for my film club, and a review session for my mechanics of materials class. I also was craving "real pizza" after the session, so I stopped at Hungry Howies and got a small. I ate half of it on the way back to my dorm. Later.

10/16/15

Well, today was fun. I had an experience with amiibo hunting. I'll talk about it tomorrow when I have some free time. I had my mechanics of materials and history of the world class. I also had an interview like thing. It was cool. I had my pokemon club and that was fun. Later.

10/14/15

Today was quite good. I did my volunteering, and that was alright. Then I went to a job fair at my college, and that's when things went really well. I talked to some companies, a lot of companies, and some really liked me, and others were "OK, cool story bro, but we're not looking for full time right now." Where were you guys these last 4 years? Anyway, one recruiter kind of had the wrong assumptions of what I was looking for. He was kind of nervous/hesitant in giving me the information. I gave him my spiel about how I love continuous improvement, and making things better. He started out asking me where I wanted to work, and I said "anywhere, I'm open to relocation." Then he was telling me that I might be in a small town, they have a lot of plants in small towns, so I might not live in a big cultural metropolis. I'm like "OK, I don't really care about that I just want a job, what kind of things do you have for industrial engineers?" Then he started telling me about this management rotation program where we try out like 4 different management positions and they figure out what management we would be best at, and asked if it interested me. I'm like "not really, management isn't really my thing. I want to get out on the floor, learn the process inside and out, and ask myself 'how can I make this better?'" That opened things up. He was then like "oooohhhhhh, we got that in droves. That's basically my job, here's what I do...." I said "yeah, that's what I want to do, that's what I love doing." I then missed my history of the world class because I miss-budgeted my time. I thought class was at 3 when thinking about when I had to leave the job fair, but class was at 2 and I've never been late. Ironic. But good leads. Later.

10/11/15

Today was a lot of work. I went to church, and then worked on a paper most of the day. After that I worked on homework. I eventually watched FOX sunday. Now I'm tired. Later.

10/7/15

Today was alright. I started my service learning thing. I had my mechanics of materials and history of the world classes. In my history reading from last night, I read a thing about the Phoenicians being "purple people" and I asked if the song "flying purple people eater" had anything to do with that, and my professor just did not have a response. I seriously wanted to know. After reading that all I could think was "does flying purple people eater have anything to do with Phoenicians? Like is this based off some obscure Greek mythical creature and it was some way for to make people cautious around Phoenicians, and was later adapted to a silly children's song?" Apparently not. I also had a job fair, and Monsanto Seeds was recruiting. When the recruiter asked me if I heard about Monsanto, it took everything in me to not say "yeah the hippies tell me you're evil." I also rigged up something to keep my permanent bracelet hidden up my sleeve. Later.

10/5/15

Today was pretty good. I had my mechanics of materials class and history of the world class. I bombed my test in mechanics of materials, because I made some stupid mistakes. I calculated the max grade I could get and it's a BA. Feels bad man. Oh well. I also paid my parking ticket. Yeah, a lot of negativity, but I enjoyed the rest of it. Later.

10/3/15

Today was great. I was able to sleep in because it's the weekend. Sure, I had to go to a kind of far dining hall because we had a water main break, and I have to drink bottled water because my water is orange, but I filmed "the interview question," a short film with my film friends. Sure, I would have liked to have been completely behind the camera because directing other people is difficult when you're in front of the camera, but it still turned out great, and I'm glad I planned for that possibility. I made a rough cut and it is great. It's not EXACTLY like I imagined it, but I envisioned me wearing different clothes for different characters soooo....
Later.

10/2/15

Today could have gone better. I had my mechanics of materials test, and I was only able to complete 2/3s of it. I completed the big question, so I think I'll survive, but it was still frustrating. Oh well. I had history of the world and that was fine. I had pokemon league and that was fun. Oh yeah, there was a water main break in my dorm so we were out of water. This is going to be a fun weekend. I also recorded a podcast about why I don't think time actually exists, or at least isn't a fundamental unit of the 4th dimension like the meter, square meter, and cubic meter is for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd dimension respectively. I also wrote a blog about why physical games are here to stay for a long time. Later.

10/1/15

Someone wake up greenday, September's over. I woke up to Shut Up and Dance on the radio today, and if it wasn't early in the morning, I would have just listened to the whole thing, but I wanted to be considerate to my neighbors. I had my digital logic class, and that went well. I did my office hours, and got my lets plays uploaded during that time. Saint, Sudden and I started filming this season of lets plays. Later.
