Long, strange weekend...
Alright, I have a few interesting things to say here.
First, on Thursday, I had a run-in with the 14 year old EE student here. He is this little, nerdy looking kid with a squeaky voice. His parents should be drawn and quartered for sending him to college like that. Anyway, I was walking out to my car, passing the Petroleum Engineering building, and he comes out of the door about 5 feet in front of me as I was passing, glances at me furtively, then proceeds to run towards the door I was walking towards in the goofiest manner possibly. He was running such that his feet sort of stomped and his armed flailed crazily in all directions. He stopped at the door and opened it for me. I said thanks, and he, in an extremely squeaky manner, said, "no problem." Then he ran off the other direction in the same crazy way. No one else was around to see it either, which really was a shame.
On Friday, I saw a bicycle pulling a cart with a guy in a huge bear suit on it. They were riding around campus in the middle of the streets. Bizarre. I have no idea. I felt like I was taking crazy pills. Also, Friday, I finally convinced my physics professor that the pulsating charged sphere does not radiate power. Quite exciting, considering we'd been arguing for almost a week about it.
Saturday, I was at a Robot competition for junior highs and high schools West Texas, and, needless to say, I saw some crazy people. Who joins the robot team in high school? I guess I was part of the state finalist MathCounts team at Boles Jr. High, so maybe I can't really talk here...
Saturday night, I saw "The Departed". It was excellent. Pretty gory and crude, but great. Definitely a guy-movie, though.

The robot team, eh? Yeah, any time I find myself thinking, "People actually join that??" I have to remind myself of my own hard-core Literary Criticism days in high school. Nerdy, yes. I have no room to talk either.
