Academics Rule. . . . .

For the next couple weeks, I'm going to be sporadic. :-) Midterms, projects, and other such fun things are hitting me from all sides. After that, I should return to normal, but until then, things will be a bit hit and miss.

Today was pretty much awesome. . . . I woke up in a festive mood, but a friend of mine, R.G., quickly quashed that by informing me that, "I was not to celebrate Christmas until AFTER Thanksgiving!" A friend and I headed to a local theme park, and we broke the Guinness Book of World Records record for the most time T2, a coaster of MASSIVE specs. . . . has ever been ridden. Actually, we set it. 21 times, back to back, and we never got off. Straight through, baby! We learned that the best way to enjoy this coaster is to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride! No, seriously. . . if you tense up, it beats you to death. . . . . Lean your head against the headrest, otherwise. . . . you'll end up with a horrible headache. RELAX. Like a drunk guy, you know. . . . T2 is KNOWN for being rough. . . . that's the physics question we were out to answer today. . . . how, and WHY, could the roughness be solved. . . . there's one question we weren't able to solve, though, and that's how to comfortably chill in hard, molded plastic seat on a well-spanked bottom. . . . .
