What I did not do today in American Government:


What I did instead:


And I almost had the entire skein wound before he dismissed class. if he would've continued until 3:20 I might've had the whole thing whipped. Well maybe not, I had gotten to a pretty bad tangle and needed a lot of room to work it out. I'm crocheting a 'juliet cap' atm, and it's starting to get where it will stay on my head.

Writing a lab report! :D

We made motors in lab today xD My group's lasted for 50 minutes apparently! I named it 'Mr. Indecisive' because it would keep stalling xD We also learned about the difference in american and japanese design methods xD
"American engineers would devise a way to detect whether the coil was at the appropriate part of its rotation and then contact an elaborate way to switch off the current at that point; japanese engineers would just device an elegant mechanical solution"
Our mechanical solution was to sand off all the varnish off one end of copper wire adn only off one side on the other end, so that as our coils rotated above our magnet, the current would short out every so often xD

Anyways, the best part of writing up physics lab reports is making the pretty illustrations in Illustrator. I'm getting to where I can almost about use that program xD
