I had my Who's Who Among Students interview today. The interview committee is headed by my Ethics professor from the summer. I was just accepted to another group she heads, so that could be something in my favorite. I applied to see if I could get in. I felt like an idiot in the interview, but I mainly came across as someone that isn't too secure in herself. I dressed up for the interview. My classmates noticed I was not in my usual garb. I hope that will be something in my favor, too.

I did have a bad day. As soon as I got out of my car before Calc class, I locked my keys in the car. I had to call me brother to save me. My Calc books and calculator were in it He came before class started. I didn't do too well on my test. However, I had to have done better than a 55, like the test I took at this time last year. I hope I made a 75, at least. After the test, we had to optimize a box, missing a top, from a sheet of paper. The maximization was with the volume of the box. We were in groups for this, and my group did well. Out of the class, we had the box with the largest volume. (However, due to some miscalculations, another group was first declared the winner of the biggest volume.) I was able to get the formula for the box's volume written quickly, and another kid plugged in the formula to find the right amount of paper to cut from the box. After checking the boxes, the professor showed us how to do it with Calculus. Our measurement for the cutout was correct. I did remember something from last year!

And now, for the Thursday Threesome:

Onesome: Off-- to do something productive? What are your spare time hobbies? ...or do you have a life <g>? I was asked this question today. I explained when I wasn't busy with school, I was working for a professor in the It department, helping my widower father, busy with either ACM or Wesley, or taking my own time at home.

Twosome: to see-- beyond the horizon? Where would you like to take your hypothetical 'unlimited' vacation? Can I just have an unlimited ticket for plane fare and go whenever I want? There are many places I want to see!

Threesome: the Wizard-- There's always (or should be) a fix-it wizard around the place; do you have one you can call on to take care of those minor repairs that crop up? ...or are you "it"? Depends on the thing. Computers? Me. Fixing things? My father. And if either one of use can't do it, nor have the time, we call someone else to come do it.
