Systems II Test!


So Yesterday we had the systems 2 test. I was a little worried that I didn't understand some of the concepts as well as I did for the systems 1 test last week. When I finished the test, I had about 3 that I wasn't sure about and had to make the best guess possible. When I submitted my scores in the computer, the screen went blank and at that moment I thought all the answers were going to be lost! Then a message come up saying, "calculating score". It felt like it must have been minutes (but was probably actually 3 seconds) before another message came up saying 47 out of 47, 100%! I was pretty happy, but more importantly, hungry!

We road our bikes home shortly after and decided to grill some pork loin and chop it up into Matt's homemade fried rice recipe. I guess Matt thought we had a huge amount of meat to cook so he fired up enough coal to cook meat for an entire football team. Seeing the small pork loin and the huge amount of coal being used, we tried to think of something else to cook. Since we hadn't made a recent trip the store, we were running a little low on veges and other fresh foods. Matt ran over the the freezer and pulled out some mystery meat that had been in our freezer for so long we couldn't even remember what it was. The result may have very well been the most "manly meal" in the history meals! Pork chop, pork fried rice, and a whole clove of grilled garlic topped with a ice cold import German bear. It was a victory feast to say the least. (Note: the butcher's clever and huge fork were added for presentation and were not actually used to eat with).

Today we start the aerodynamics block of instuction. it's mostly stuff I already but must have been made by the same engineers that designed the T-6 because they make way to academic with all sorts of formulas and junk. But whatever, I guess they have to test you on something...

Lastly, Happy Birthday to my brother Nate! 21 Today!
