6:30-Chemistry midterm. It was hella easy. Twenty-five multiple choice and we had two hours to do it. I did it in one.

8:00-I chatted with Aleksander, a fellow engineer floormate, for a bit. Small talk really.

9:00-Fencing. Small group tonight. Funny story; two of the executives were fencing with sabres, and one of the blades broke a good quarter of it just flew off. I played against a few people, not really winning much, but I feel myself getting competent.

So midterms, eh? This should be a fun weekend.

Tyler what kind of mark do you need to get into your honors bachelors next year?

shiiii son. Oh well those arent awful marks. In my calculus class, like 10 people got 0-9 on their midterm lolol

Kason Birdman wrote:Tyler what kind of mark do you need to get into your honors bachelors next year?

Not sure what you mean exactly by that, but a 60 average is a pass.

Entry 053: Falling apple, rising slope.
7:45-Breakfast, a bowl of Lucky Charms and a glass of apple juice.

8:30-Physics, we looked at momentum today. I have recently decided that I like this professor. He draws a lot, and it makes him unique.

9:30-Statics, still on moments, kinda distracted by calculus practice.

10:30-Applemath tutorial, nothing much, left by halfway.

12:00-Lunch, sausage on a bun, an apple and chocolate milk.

1:30-Calculus quiz. I feel great about it.

2:30-Surfing, doing assignments, helping Abdel out.

6:00-Lunch, a deli sandwich, double-sized chocolate milk, and a brownie. Really good brownie. Brownie good enough to make me go over budget more than I already am.

7:00-Microeconomics. So apparently I have a midterm Saturday. Okay.

10:20-Laundry.

I have a lot to do Wednesday.

I was real busy Thursday night, so here's a double entry.

Entry 054: Witness my work ethics!
7:30-Breakfast. Lucky Charms, I think.

8:30-Applemath.

9:30-Calculus. Midterm for that is coming up.

10:30-Chemistry, going on to rates of reaction.

12:00-Lunch.

1:30-Design.

4:30-Macroeconomics. Midterm next Wednesday.

7:00-Dinner.

And I stayed up real late, catching up with the notebook I need to hand in for design class. I'm tired, but things are gonna get better.

Entry 055: Trying to not be tired
7:45-Breakfast, two french toasts and orange juice.

8:30-Physics. We're on elastic collisions.

9:30-Statics.

10:30-Design studio. We're starting on project 2, designing a device that will assist a mouse trap in sending a ping pong ball any specific distance. There wasn't much structure to the class. Hell, after I handed everything in I left after just over an hour.

1:00-Nap time.

2:00-Lunch time, two grilled cheeses, an apple, chocolate milk and a brownie.

3:30-Chemistry, rates of reaction.

And at 4:30 I pretty much had the night to myself. Dinner was a big bowl of chili and chocolate milk. Later, I went down with three floormates for the snack bar. I got Swedish Berries.

I went to fencing, and I gotta say, it was the funnest meeting yet. I played left-handed. I learned it's legal to change hands during a match. Two executives fought dual-wielding style. Two executives fought penguin style.

Things are getting better.

sounds like dual-wielding ninjas from final fantasy tactics

Duncan Posts?! DUNCAN POSTS... Great Scott! Tom, how is this gunna happen?! It can't be done, can it?

Entry 056: A test of my abilities
7:45-Too late for breakfast.

8:30-Applemath.

9:30-Calculus, just review for the midterm tomorrow. Aww.

10:30-Breakfast, Mini Wheats and apple juice.

12:00-Lunch, philly steak sandwich and chocolate milk.

1:30-Design, just a bunch of students talking about international opportunities. Meh, but we did do a survey about Western Engineering, and that was fun.

2:30-Chemistry tutorial, rates and heat. I actually answered everything, yay.

6:00-Dinner, big cheese pizza slice with an apple, chocolate milk and a chocolate cookie.

And not much else for the night. I did a microeconomics quiz as part of my studying for tomorrow's midterm. I got a 55. Nnnnnhhh.

October in review
I'm missing $2500 OSAP dollars. This is kind of freaking me out, and I've been too busy to tell the government about it. I need to get to that.

Not much has happened. My design team had its first project throughout this month. My grades are dropping. 80s and 90s on chemnistry tests turned into a 68 on a midterm worth 35%. I keep falling behind in Applemath. I'm getting lower and lower scores on microeconomics quizzes. I'm starting to slack; that needs to stop.

So, basically, I have a lot to do.

Entry 057: Midterms, Round 2 GO!
I woke up around 9:30. Didn't bother to get breakfast. Lunch was a cheese chiabatta, french fries, an apple and chocolate milk. Dinner was two chicken drumsticks given to me by someone else because they were full, chocolate milk and a small chocolate cake thinger.

At 1:00, I had a microeconomics midterm. Pretty regular, a bunch of multiple choice. I feel good about it.

At 7:00, I had my calculus midterm. Odd thing, it was supposed to be 2 hours, but the professor gave us an extra hour to work on it. And not in one big chunk, he kept updating every 5-10 minutes. Kinda frustrating when your tensed up for the final few minutes only to be told that you still have time. The test itself was hella hard, but I answered practically all of it. I feel good about it.

That's it.

Entry 058: Here come's the Sunday
I woke up at around 10:45. No breakfast. Lunch was three beef tacos, an apple, double chocolate milk and a chocolate chip muffin. Dinner was a deli sandwich and chocolate milk.

I had a floor rep meeting tonight. And I did laundry. Didn't do much this afternoon. Although I did go for a walk. Actually, when I was going down the Saugeen stairwell, I passed 2-Unit's lounge. And four guys were playing SSB. 64. Holy shit, that's awesome. I didn't join in, thought that would be intrusive, but Geek Week is happening at Saugeen next week. That should be good.

Hey, no fire alarm this weekend!

Entry 059: It's the "I have a-" Drinking Game!
7:30-Breakfast, two blueberry muffins and orange juice.

8:30-Applemath. Starting on the 5th unit. I have a test tomorrow.
9:30-Calculus, concavity. I did practice questions.
10:30-Chemistry, more on rates.

12:00-Lunch, meatball/tortellini stew, an apple and chocolate milk.

1:30-Design. I have a test Wednesday.

3:00-Surfing.

4:30-Macroeconomics, review. I have a test Wednesday.

6:00-Physics lab, momentum and energy in 1-D collisions. Probably the funnest of them all, and the last btw. We slammed little carts against each other, and then sent one against a magnet.

9:00-Dinner, slice of pepperoni pizza, an apple and chocolate milk.
