Stupid ARCH 105 project...
Oct. 7th, 2006 07:31 pmWoke up around 6:30 or whatever 'cause the radio went off.. Tried to go back to sleep, but finally gave up around 7:30 and got up. Turned on the laptop and went online for a while.. Read some fics, talked to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bobbleheadvi 'cause he called me, and yeah.. Around 9:00, went to go get ready and then ate cereal. After that, got my stuff, then left for school around 9:45. Got to the support shop right when they were opening it. Waited around for Valerie, then went in and attempted practicing for a while, then I was like "Fuck it" and just started on the final. My sliding dovetail was VERY loose and yeah.. The box joint was horrible 'cause it was loose and didn't stay and it was badly cut on the bandsaw. x_x
FYI for whoever wants to know, I broke one bandsaw. After that, the tech people were fixing it and so I went to use the other bandsaw next to little a few minutes later.. And yeah, broke that one too. Tech people fixed it and yeah... Let's just say that the bandsaws at Cal Poly just don't like me. x_x
When I was doing the mortise and tenon joint thing, it was.. bad. My wood came out all crappy on the back 'cause it cracked it and stuff. BLEH! Attemped to sand it to make it fit 'cause it wasn't, but yeah.. Took forever, but finally, it fits in, even though it looks shitty. x_x Dumb thing.. I hope mine isn't the only one that looks and fits together like crap. But yeah.. I cut off one end of the dovetail and attempted it again. It was better, but still loose. *sigh* x_x
I gave up on the wood portion of the project around 2:30 or whatever. Went over to the machine shop area and started working on my metal thing. It was MUCH easier than the wood and you get to be more creative. I spot welded my first two pieces, then later I did a pop rivet. I did another spot weld for my next joint, then later on, one of the tech people soldered my pieces together. After that, added one more curve thing with a pop rivet, then it was like 4:15 and I decided I had enough.
I was hungry, tired, and just wanted to go home. Waited in line to get my Poly Card back 'cause you need to give it to them to check in and yeah.. Took forever.. I didn't leave until about 4:40. x_x
When I was walking, called my boy and girl and talked to them on the way home. Got back to my room and dropped off my stuff and then sat at the computer to check my mail and stuff, then went to eat dinner around 5:10. The guys were going out to eat at the same time, so went to eat with them ((my suitemates were all gone...)). So yeah, it was me and about seven guys. I felt kinda awkward.. I mean, not 'cause I was the only girl with a bunch of guys, 'cause CTA? Full of guys. No, it was 'cause I don't really hang out with the guys that much and yeah.. It was kinda weird? But whatever.. Went, got my food, and just sat and ate. There wasn't much talking 'cause we were mostly just eating. But yeah, maybe they felt awkward too 'cause I was the only girl there and they were having their maybe guy-ish conversations? I know at times they were trying not to offend me, like when they were talking about how drunk Noelle was last night ((I wouldn't know 'cause I was asleep. Sounded interesting to see though! And no, what they were saying didn't offend me 'cause she got drunk on her own and if she looked stupid, well, that's all her and I don't care that they were talking shit about it 'cause what do you expect? But yeah, they were all, "Not that's she's bad or anything" or whatever to me after a bit of that conversation, so yeah..)). But anyway..
Yeah, I ate a lot 'cause I was starved. Had a hotdog, hamburger, fries, and fruit. All the other guys just either got a hotdog or hamburger and whatever side stuff. I felt kinda pig-ish and yeah.. They were probably thinking, "Damn, she eats a lot!" or something, lol. Oh wellz. I don't care if people think that. I hate girls who don't eat anything anyway. XP
After we finished eating, we were basically just sitting there and doing nothing. I didn't want to leave since that's rude to leave when the people you came with aren't done eating, ya know? But yeah, then they saw some people from my suite or whatever and were like, "Oh shit" and stuff. I was just like, whatever 'cause yeah. I dunno. Then they were like, "Let's wait for them to sit, then we'll leave" so we sat and then they came and sat down at the table behind us 'cause there was no room at our table, and the guys were all trying not to laugh and I was trying not to laugh at them 'cause they were all being retarded and stuff, then Kitto was like, "I'm getting coffee" and then everyone at our table just picked up our trays and left, lol.
Went to check my mail and then went back to my room. Been listening to music and just writing this entry since then, basically. Looked up some advising stuff, but yeah..
Tomorrow will be a very busy day for me. I gotta go get rubber cement, work on my ARCH 131 project, do my math homework, finish my interview questions, do laundry, and go buy milk. x_x
I called up Law's, an arts and crafts store downtown, and asked their times for tomorrow and they're open from 12:00 to 5:00, so I'll be going downtown around 12:00 tomorrow to get rubber cement. So my plan is basically...
Whatever - 9:30 // Sleep or freetime or whatever.
9:30 - 10:00 // Get ready and stuff.
10:00 - 10:35 // Start laundry, eat brunch, and do whatever.
10:35 - 11:20 // Put laundry in the dryer, work on interview questions ((if not already finished)), work on math homework.
11:20 - 11:30 // Get laundry and fold.
11:30 - 1:30 // Walk downtown, go to Law's, buy rubber cement, go to any other place I want if I have time, then walk back home. Also go to Albertson's to buy milk and whatever else I need.
1:30 - 2:00 // Measure, cut, and glue pictures to illustration board.
2:00 - 3:00 // Work on analog and digital versions of ARCH 131 project.
3:00 - 3:30 // Do math homework.
3:30 - 4:30 // Work on analog and digital versions of ARCH 131 project.
4:30 - 5:00 // Interview questions ((if not already finished)), math homework ((if not already finished)), or freetime.
5:00 - 5:30 // Work on analog and digital versions of ARCH 131 project.
5:30 - 6:00 // Eat dinner.
6:00 - 6:30 // Work on analog and digital versions of ARCH 131 project.
6:30 - 7:00 // Freetime.
7:00 - 8:00 // Work on analog and digital versions of ARCH 131 project.
8:00 - 8:30 // Shower.
8:30 - 9:30 // Work on analog and digital versions of ARCH 131 project.
9:30 - Whenever // Freetime.
Yeah.. that sounds good for now. I dunno, subject to change, of course, but hopefully I'll work on the project at all those times and actually get some good things done.
Anywayz.. My schedule for next quarter looks something like this, so far... ((Just because I look thinking about this earlier and all...))
ARCH 132 // 8:00-12:00 MWF
PHYS/HNRS 141 // 1:00-2:00 MTRF ((Hopefully it'll be Honors..))
ENGL 145 or whatever for the A3 requirement // ???
So.. it'll be basically like what I have now, since math is just replaced with physics and English is replaced with more English. The only difference are the times. And I'll have Tuesday and Thursday mornings off, unless I can find an A3 class on TR between 8:00-12:00. But yeah, that probably won't happen, so.. Yeah. But that'll be great to have those two mornings off. OMG, I can actually have time to go and do stuff. XD Well, get stuff for ARCH class and work on ARCH projects, of course. And do homework, haha. XD But yeah, the A3 class will probably be from 2:00-3:00. XD
Last night, I bought my Amtrak ticket to go home for Thanksgiving! XD I'm so excited now! XD I'm leaving on Monday, November 20 @ 4:25 and getting to San Diego at 12:50 in the morning. XD So ditching my Tuesday classes. XP But yeah, after English on Monday, I have to rush home, grab my stuff, then rush to the Amtrak station a couple blocks away. They say to get there about 30 minutes ahead of time, but I can't do that 'cause class doesn't get out until 4:00. =/ Hopefully we get out a little early that day?
Okay, I need to stop now. I've been writing this too long. Will write more later or whatever..
