Hooray for the end of the first round of midterms (which was a week ago). This past week has been as busy as ever though. It's hard to see how I managed the time to do something every single day since last Saturday (with the exception of Friday) for either TBP or HKN. Not that I really had much of a choice; they were either required or something I had to do eventually. It's been fun, but I'm starting to burn out.
Last Saturday was Photoscav for HKN. The clues were much tougher than last semester's, though it was pretty fun. Some of the traditional stuff included biggest phallic symbol, breakdancing, rolling down 4.0 hill, etc. Other miscellaneous items were things such as most kinky, most recursive, most masochistic, etc. We found a lot of stuff, and of course, my group won again, just like last semester. Overall a tiring but enjoyable day. =D
Sunday was volunteering for TBP at the Blue Angels booth. Since there were so many people, it became more of a "enjoy the show" type of event, but it was nice nonetheless. Before the show we ended up walking around the pier for a bit (me and some other candidates--I showed them around). The planes themselves were pretty cool, and it was the first time I actually watched them for real down at the pier.
Monday was Game Night for TBP, which was okay. Didn't really do much, though I did play a couple games of MJ. The next couple days were general meeting for TBP and HKN, respectively. Free food ftw here--the first was Gypsy's and the second was Chipotle. Although I have to admit, by this time I was getting a bit tired of the Wozniak Lounge, which was where all three events were held each day. At HKN's GM, we met the candidates for our committee--damnit, I just remembered I still hafta plan committee dinner for that.
Thursday was K'Nex Night for TBP. It was pretty fun--we had a bridge competition. It turned out that our opponent's was longer but not very durable--it was way too rigid and collapsed easily. Ours being a suspension bridge was much more flexible and was therefore able to withstand more weight. I think this should be something every engineer should know, and considering how TBP IS the engineering honors society... Ah well, all in good fun.
I finally had a break to catch up in my work yesterday. Which reminds me, I got back all my midterms already. All went relatively well--absolute-wise they all could've been better (mostly B+/A- range), although I guess I have no excuse to worry, seeing as they're all curved anyway. And besides, history I'm making P/NP anyway, so that's another burden lifted.
O yeah, I'm home today after volunteering at the Food Bank with TBP. It was pretty cool, we boxed apples and packaged oats. First time there, so I guess it was somewhat worth it for the experience. The upcoming week looks almost as busy as this one was--I have something planned for almost every day of the week again. Hopefully they'll be less intensive; for once, I'm not ahead on my physics homework. Thankfully, there is no second midterm for that class. Yup, I should probably start doing some work now!
