Where I work, every time I leave my building I’m harassed by people looking for money… today it was MassPIRG, Greenpeace, DARE, and the Obama campaign. Today the greenpeace girl tried to be clever:

Greenpeace Girl: “Hey! What’s your favorite animal?” (as she blocks my path)
Me: “Pork”
GG: (looks dazed)

A midterm

November 1st, 2007 by mike d. in school

currently eating: chips.

Last night I had a midterm in my Heat Convection class.

It went… okay. Hardly flawless, but not nearly as bad as I had originally expected. This tough exam comes alongside two great pieces of news.

1. it looks like I’ll be able to get credit for two of my MBA classes as ‘elective’ courses for the M.S.

This is awesome because I thought i could only get one. A bonus class would be SWEET. If that goes through we will have the following school completion levels.

2. Pete and I may be able to do a project for the engineering degree. That means I could be done as early as MARCH. MARCH!

that would be bliss. I can’t wait.
