Classes

Classes! Wow, well this quarter I am what you might call a procrastinator. Thats right, I am putting off the work. Really the only one that will come back to bite me is the ETEC class.

For Dad, who wanted to know the projects, we have two in that class.
The personal one is to reverse engineer a kenetic flashlight and model it on Catia with some improvments. Then do a whole report on it.

The team project, to create an ergonomic hand tool is great in that we can actually make it but the usefulness is kind of low on my list. Just to clarify, you are assigned teams and you have to work on that team. Your grade is based on a lot of your team project. My team members are not interested and I have to keep dragging them around to get them to do anything. So, because of the apathy of my team, our project is quite simple. We are designing a money clip with a built in bottle opener that conforms to your body. It is a cool idea but I don't use a money clip or a bottle opener so that is annoying. Anyhow, those are the projects. Both are do in less then 5 weeks and I haven't even started modeling either of them. Ahhhh!

That's about it from up here. The weather is getting really nice and I don't have to have my jacket zipped up all the time. :)

Ha! This is the 5th week of the Quarter! Do you know what that means! It means that there is only half a quarter left in my first year at college. Wow! It has gone by quickly.
