packbat | Class, Colds, Chess, Characters, and Things Not Starting with C.

The other prof of my class was absent this Tuesday-Wednesday, so I had to cover the whole two hours. Plus, I misread the homework assignment as being due Monday, not Monday a week¹, so I thought I had to cover the entire thing, including the bits we haven't got to in class yet.

Given that we bugged out half an hour early, I suspect I did not completely succeed. Discussion sections are the toughest audiences.

Picked up a bug somewhere that kicked in Thursday morning - sore throat, runny nose², soreness of muscles ... well, no, actually that last is due to overstress on the "Lat Pulldown" machine at the school gym. Yay exercise!

Went to chess club last night after the gym, ran into a guy from my FEM class there. He talked me into playing blitz - 10 minutes per player - and then wiped the floor with me as soon as I slipped up and dropped a knight in both games. So it goes.

You see Friday's "Little Dee"? Panel four? So my brother.

This is the most absurd thing I've ever seen. (Well, today. So far.)

I'm seriously short of non-C items.

Well, that's mostly all. Cheers!

1. 2.8%, unless the missing "a" is highly significant³, in which case it might be as high as 11% or more. ^
2. I'd elaborate on the viscosity and color, but no-one wants to read that junk. ^
3. Or unless Irregular Webcomic readers are a nonrepresentative sample. Which, of course, they are. ^
4. Now with x% more meaninglessness, where x doesn't mean anything! ^
