I’m not Late if the Teacher’s Later!

You know you’ve been in college too long when you take into account how likely it is your teacher will be late for your class when determining when you need to start heading for school.  For example my Digital Media teacher is always at least five minutes late because he’s helping students from his previous class.  This means I have a five minute grace window before class, but my Machine Learning Professor is never late so I have to be in class precisely on time.

In case you’re wondering it was my Machine Learning class that sparked this bit of introspection, and no, I was not late.  I was in class precisely on time.

I Have a Skill and I Never Even Knew it!

I wore a black suit to school today with a bright blue shirt and vivid yellow tie.  Of course I also wore my favorite hat (a straw fedora I have been told is brown).  I was walking across campus when I noticed a group of grade schoolers being given a tour of Florida Poly (I couldn’t really have missed them there were three tour guides and over a hundred children).  My head was down as there was wind and I was taking care not to lose my hat to the lake again, but I noticed a boy ahead of me waving excitedly at me.  As I walked by I nodded to the young man.  He ceased waving as if shocked.  “Oh my gosh!” he shouted to his friends. “He even moves his head super cool!”

So there you have it. I have the awesome skill of moving my head super cool.  I didn’t even know that was a thing!

Hat-Mobile Model

Remember the orthographic drawing of the Hat-Mobile I uploaded a few days back?  I drew that for school with the intention (and requirement) of modeling the car in a 3D program. Well I was going to show it to you today, but I’m not going to anymore.

I’m sorry, but I planned to be done with my model last night.  Unfortunately that did not happen instead I had a very frustrating night because my modeling software crashed three times.  This was a problem, but it wasn’t half as bad as the fifteen- that’s right fifteen! – bad saves.  Every file I saved last night was corrupted when I reloaded it. So I gave up.

Don’t get me wrong I will finish a model of this stinkin’ car, but I’m just gonna start fresh.  I don’t care if it’s less efficient.  so I hope to present you all with a GOOD model of this car in a couple of weeks.  If not, know that I am wailing and gnashing my teeth at my 3D modeling software, Maya (free for students).

Is Florida Poly Trying to Tell me Something?

I mean they better be, otherwise I better change schools, but that’s not what I mean.   I received a notification today that I was eligible for early course registration (I finally get to register with the big boys!).  Early registration for the spring semester begins on October 31st… at midnight.

Is the next semester going to haunt me?
