Hmm...

My Header

Whew!  I have been absolutely swamped lately.

My class schedule consists of:

Pre-Calc (With which my teacher left last week on monday)
Economics (Year-long course compressed into 1 semester)
Spanish (I'm half Puerto Rican and I still can speak barely any Spanish)
Latin (ugh...)
Literary Magazine (For which I'm the editor of)
Humanities
Computer Programming (And I'm not very good with computers, honestly.)
AP Literature
Senior Thesis (I'm researching hydrogen and ethanol powered cars and my argument is based on how lighterweight materials would improve performance and fuel efficiency)
Chemistry (Another full-year class compressed into 1 semester, but did I mention it's a college class at the University of South Florida, and it's a web class?! :faint: )

As well as a Yoga class, Digital Photography, Life Skills class, College Planning (Did I mention i'm a senior?), and of course helping out with the school newspaper crew of 3, which includes myself (one issue a week!).

Believe me, i'm amazed i'm still alive.  I thought senior year was supposed to be the easy one, right? :|

As far as dA is concerned, I'm going to try giving better, more honest and constructive comments, so I won't be able to comment on all of your pieces. ;)

But, it's for the best, honestly I appreciate getting honest comments on my pieces, so I should do the same.

Hope you're all doing better than me! :wave:

It should be easy, honestly, I just take more "special" classes then are required and kind of dug the hole for myself. :(

Still though, it shouldn't be this bad.

I'll always be making my fractals though. ;)

How do you find the time for all of that?? Economics alone would send me into slumberland. Chem, now, that's a bit more interesting. :D They're talking about hydrogen fuel production up here in NoDak, too. And, recently converting coal to jet fuel is another of the alternate fuels, plus the biofuel plants going up. The hydrogen research is being tied in with the wind energy, as well. (We've got lots of wind up here..:D)

That's interesting to hear, I thought that the "hydrogen economy" had seemingly been shelved. Its not a logical solution for the present, but maybe in 20 years it will be.

And, its quite the schedule, but I have virtually no social life, so I guess it balances out, in a bad way. :(

Saves money on dates...doesn't it? LOL When I was in college, when I wasn't going to class, I was working which took up time, too. At least I worked on campus which helped being I only had a bicycle for transportation before I graduated to a motorcycle...which wasn't much good come winter...LOL

They are thinking of combining hydrogen production with the wind generators here to offset power generation when the wind doesn't blow. I heard that there is a new method of storing hydrogen for use in vehicles...or other electrical generation...a solid form, I think.. I only caught part of it on the news.

I suppose it does. :|

I'll have to take a look into that when I get the chance.

It would make it safer to handle, that's for sure. :D

Indeed, I'm absolutely exhausted this week, but I should be able to pull something together.

I usually thrive on having things to do, but there's a line between "keeping me busy" and "overwhelming me." :|
