Wow, I don't know if it's the vast amounts of ibuprofen or what, but I've been getting a shit ton of things done today.

- Since [profile] first_seventhe basically dared me, and I've the constitution of an eleven year old in the face of a dare, I decided to take one of her prompts for the Rinoa fic-a-thon, which is turning into Carbon Made or, yet another longish fic. I doubt I'll take it beyond five chapters, as I like my sanity. I'm writing a lot of chick fic lately. Huh. Wonder what's up with that.

- Got a good start on "Last Call For Liquid Courage" in which I play with language even more and probably blur my already blurred line between prose and poetry.

- Got my prelab for my programming class done. Wow. Visual Basic kind of doesn't really require you to program at all. And I thought Matlab was easy. The only problem is all the clicking and making sure it's within the acceptable conventions (which I realized I forgot my header on my last lab, shit). So I'm starting on the lab itself now, so that I don't have to spend an hour just naming everything. It's a compound interest problem, and part of me twitched at the formulas they gave us (I've clearly been in Differential Equations too long, because it just looks WRONG compounding interest like that).

- Got my Aero homework done last night, after pestering Justin about my lack of math skills. You know you're over-educated when you blank out on how to compute slope from two lines. Oy. I'm going to look over it tonight and make sure I didn't make any other stupid mistakes. Wasn't a half bad assignment, to be honest. I'm a little weirded out by that.

- Read through some of the pilot's manual, I'm going to need to spend more time on that. It's full of craaaazy. However, the plotter is ridiculously fun to play with.

Some things I should get done:

- Thinking about doing some laundry. Best time to start it is right around dinnertime, because everyone's eating, not thinking about doing laundry. XD

- Check mail and mail off the thingie my insurance company needs. I keep forgetting.

- Put together my new wire shelf things. Extra space is always good!

- Wash mugs. Been drinking a lot of tea lately.

- Work on other sleeve of blazer?

Yay for productivity!

Productivity = Awesome.
And yay, Rinoa fic.
...I'm sitting here reading this, and realizing I can't come up with how to get slope, either.

Oh wait, there it is. XD My brain tried to mix it up with the distance formula.

Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Otherwise known as rise/run.
