In the midst of everybody losing their composure, I am, once again, perfectly calm. After I finish this entry, I’m writing my paper on wind power (it blows… har har har) and continuing with my studying.
History?!
During the semester, I have been doing all my reading and I can recall a lot of information. Yet, I have been getting Cs on my all-essay tests. During the tests, I write practically nonstop. To gain a better understanding of the situation, I visited the TA on Friday. Unfortunately, that was counterproductive as I left more ticked off because they appear to just want regurtitation of information and little sense of organization. I ran into one of my colleagues while checking out the synchrophasor stuff Professor Mack Grady just finished setting up, and he echoes my sentiment.
My ability to maintain my composure seemed incredible at the time, but as soon as the final is over, I’m selling those books and ensuring those blue books are taken care of like company top trade secrets.
Funny Pics
Also on Friday, I spent the evening with some friends at a barbecue. On the way back, I noticed that a storefront has this painted: “If it’s in stock, we’ve got it!” My car trip today involved taking a picture of this:

My challenge to you: Devise something to contradict this statement. Now for something not so obvious:

I found the typo on the receipt after I went to the Asian food mart to get this sauce. I shall refrain from making jokes here…

I received an ad for this in the mail today along with my weekly grocery store ads. When I saw this, I wondered, “Is the manufacturer seriously desperate for some revenue or something?” After all, it is pretty obvious when someone is over the age of 65. Nevertheless, I do see some gag gift value in this item.
Here’s the ad. Have at it, folks!

(11:43:22 AM) Friend: my calc teacher once called the Down Industrials a 30-dimensional vector
(11:43:28 AM) Friend: I’d love to be able to visualize that!
(11:43:30 AM) Me: Down Industrials?
(11:43:33 AM) Friend: *Dow
(11:43:34 AM) Friend: lol
(11:43:46 AM) Friend: that was rather ironic I should type that
(11:43:48 AM) Me: Wow… where can I invest in a market that’s doomed to go down?
(11:43:51 AM) Me HA!
(11:43:56 AM) Friend Yay shorts!
(11:44:03 AM) Friend I just put mine on, they’re dark blue
(11:44:12 AM) Me ha!
(11:44:19 AM) Friend can’t go out for breakfast in my undies
Note: In the finacial market, “shorts” refer to selling something not in your possession and then buying it back later. Typically, you would want to “sell” when a stock is high and “buy” when it is low. This is a dangerous endeavor and should not be tried unless you really know what you’re doing.

I woke up this morning to a hurting right jaw. I don’t know how I managed to carry about my everyday life, but I did anyway. While telling my friend of my little predicament…

Friend: what the heck is going on w/ number 20
Me: One sec
Me: It’s the equivalent of drawing that “stairstep function,” if you will.
Me: It’s the floor function!
Friend: so that’s all i need to do
Me: How else can you draw the graph?
Friend: you could draw a field of bunnies
Me: You can do that, and we’ll see which one is correct.
Me: I’d like to see your solution if it were to be a field of bunnies, though…

How many candles can a normal cake hold? Realistically, anything more than 30 is pushing your luck. So how do you go about placing candles for your parent or grandparent? Not to worry — David Yanoshak to the rescue!
Friend: so i put 6 candles on my mom’s birthday cake, lit - lit - not lit - lit- lit-lit
Friend: recognize anything?
Me: The 3rd candle is out.
Friend: 110111
Me: What are the candles’ arrangement?
Me: Oh… for her age?
Friend: yeah
Me: 2^5+2^4+4+2+1
Me: 32+16+7 = 55?
Friend: yep
Me: Way to save candles, ****!
Friend: haha
Friend: and to make her feel better
There you have it, people! The binary system can really help to make your birthday celebrations a lot more economical!
