Look What I found...

Postby Elessar » Wed Dec 10, 2008 9:12 pm

Ok so Caltech has the most asinine attitude about wanting me to go through and tell them all about my educational history (CX - would you remember who wrote the book you used for your freshman engineering physics course? Yeah, I don't either). It's kinda nuts. But fun, yay! :lol:. In looking for all this information, I ran across something interesting from my fluids 1 class.

Check this out... We did one of those peer eval things who wrote what % and everybody gave me 75. There were 4 people.

I was pretty proud of this cuz I put a LOT of work into it. I was one of 2 students out of 74 that got 100% on the project. Only reason I'm bragging about it is because I got a B in the course so it's proof to me that I know fluid mechanics better than that :lol:

Oh, and the whole 75% thing... I wrote the entire report but the other members did some research. It didn't turn out to be part of our presentation but they went to the zoo and watched the penguins diving and took video and we slowed it down and used it to analyze their wake, how they angle, how they dive, their lift generating capabilities, etc.

--I take that back. I don't think I wrote the section "Applications in Modern Engineering" because it sounds like crap :lol:

MAMMA MIA! :lol:
Well yes. I continue to write. And on Fanfiction.Net, for those who want, it is possible to cast a glance at my latest efforts. We arrived to
The Ears of the Elves, chapter Forty-four


And here is the beginning of the whole story.

But, I must say, you could also find something else on Fanfiction.net written by me. If you want.
