Snarky

So much to say... So little digital space... NOT! Well, on Friday I taught several physics classes. This went extremely well as they were doing the "egg drop" project. You know, the one where you build a paper contraption to protect an egg from a fall. So I did a lot of cleaning. Out of 64 eggs, two were left over and three survived the experiment flawlessly. That means that over the course of the day 59 eggs broke, many of which I had to clean up. However the cool part was, I got to grade the kids. My range of responsibilities is growing! As the day went on one of the kids from the English classes I taught two weeks ago passed by the room and spotted me. He came in for a sec, asked the class if I was subbing that class for the day, and then exclaimed "You guys will like him, Mr. C. is cool sub!"

Right as the day ended I got a message concerning my blog. Apparently someone had read it and decided to call me "Snarky." Now, I had my suspicions and had to look up that word. I was right (at least I was not called "swanky") but now must wonder. Is this a complement or an insult?

Many other things happened on Friday that I don't remember as well, but one of them is that my sister came home. She had been in Mexico the past week, and with the news being what it was I can't say I didn't worry a bit. We sat around and caught up as I worked my technical magic on her computer to retrieve long lost data.

Also I have found a new personal goal to achieve. It will take some time, lots of research, and many unwilling victims. But since I am not doing this for official college reasons I can ignore the ethical ramifications of using unwilling human test subjects (I'm sure that alone breaks most of the ethics codes) but seriously, what better baseline subject is there than one that is unaware that they are being tested? I can think of none, and thus shall begin immediately. Personal improvements here I come!

Mmmmm cake.... The cake is so delicious and moist...
