Coffee pot = yum
I'm just putting out a random posting, so sorry for the jumbledness. First off, before spring break, there was my second dragon day at Cornell :) The dragon was funny because it was on top of Rand Hall this time, and i think the architects had a grand time watching their little prison of a building burn. It didn't burn as well this year, but it was still a fun event. I'm torn with the idea about it being an "only cornell thing" and not encouraging community members to join in. On one hand, it is important for the Ithaca community to feel a part of the university...but on the other hand, it's kinda just a bunch of your architect friends running around and being funny. Plus, there were too many people in my way, i couldn't see! But I love dragon day, it means the start of spring break :)
Speaking of which, the week was a ton of fun. I got to hang out w/ KT, Adam (aka hoss), Steven and Amy and we did a ton of hiking, and a ton of riding in a too small car. Adam's house and family were very nice and it was amazing to stay there. It was also good to go home for a bit and see everyone. Possibly one of my favorite moments on the trip was Adam admitting that my mountains are pretty good :) We'll need to go back and finish camel's hump one day...and get Owen to deliver a pizza, yum. Other than that, there's just too much crazyness that i can't even begin to describe what it was like, so i'll just say that it was really fun.
OK, on to my third point. I got my orgo prelim back today, and i actually did a lot better than i expected. I got a 73, and the mean was a 63.8 i think. It's kinda sad that the prof makes a test that has a mean of a 63...anyway, i'm happy with the grade, considering i was expecting to get way below the mean (actually, the lowest score was a 3!). The standard dev. was a 17 or so, so i probably got around a B overall. But i still have the 3rd prelim and the final to go, so we're about 2/3 the way through the grades...I still have my micro mid-term and my farm animal behavior mid-term to get back, but i think they went ok.
Oh, and welcome back mom :)
