Implying I wouldn't.

Implying niche individual preferences influence long established notions and the associated grammatical constructs.

Implying people are honest.

Pretty much. We see something that some animal does and we go like, "How can I make a robot do that?" Kinda like a small scale version of PETMAN or Big Dog. It's because biology frequently gets it right because it's had billions of years and survival has been the tester. But yeah, people have been working more and more on that recently.

My entire school is full of people who like to party, but somehow most of them get their work done. I met a guy who gets drunk basically all the time and even told a guy to punch him in the face. He's also aerospace, has a full scholarship and a GPA of 3.7. He's also really good at piano. While I don't like him much while he's drunk, he's pretty damn cool while sober.

BioE and biomech systems in general aren't really my focus but I do like the idea of Deus Ex type shit happening. There's a lot of good that can be done in improving prosthetics and researching various implants. I know a guy whose focus is that stuff. Though, I'm taking a bio-inspired robotics class this fall, and I'm really looking forward to it.

I know what you mean about frat bros. Half of them seem like a waste of matter to me, but I've met some in the engineering frats that are basically, good productive people that happen to be in frats also.

The ISS has some mechanical arms to do certain work outside but they still have some stuff they need people to do and it's pretty fuckin dangerous. It'd be like a far more challenging version of any industrial arm because of the way they need to cut weight and moving parts so much out there.

I read a book on the first mars rover recently, written by one of the guys at JPL who actually was on the project even, and that's what made me start looking into space stuff also. I happen to live near a NASA office, too. But for now I'm actually doing research work at the campus microrobotics lab.

Designing industrial or rescue robotics. If I really wanna reach, I'd even add their space equivalents. But that's not really all that pressing for me. I want to be an engineer because I want to help the world. I don't want to help individual people, I want to make the world a better place as a whole for people to live in.

[x] Y'all's king told me to be at here.

It's all macroscale physical stuff. I used the same equations in electronics when we were doing signals and stuff, which I also thought was basically sicknasty awesome. As a mechanical engineer, we never really get too deep into anything atomic scale, which I'm basically all the happier for. Quantum is so annoying.

The longer I've been in the major, the more I've realized how closely tied with business the program is at my school and honestly, I don't like that. The reason why we're redesigning a drill this year is because DeWalt runs the class and wants free labor on this model. Day one we all had to sign over our intellectual property on the project. The class itself also has basically no math or science in the daytime lectures. It's all this nonsensical mumbo jumbo about profit margins and optimizing turnover time. It's like turning the design process into an assembly line.
But vibrations. That class is awesome. That class is basically dynamics 2, but it's so much more interesting. Doesn't hurt that the professor is a nice guy.

I tell him this whenever we speak.

Fuck[/font*] is how I do it. I used to have a post template with stock words, preset to be unfiltered, then we moved to xenforo and it doesn't support templates. T^T

MechE 4lyfe, bro. My friend is an Astronomy Physics double major, works two jobs to pay for his own food and rent and has a GPA over 3.0. He barely complains. I know I can't say shit if I know someone who can put up with that much.

The running is all in my head. Haha.

But details, you asked for the details so I'm gonna drop a couple of those bitches down for us all to take a look at and ponder for a quick second. I've got three semester long projects, weekly problem sets, semiweekly programming projects and normal homework outside of class. Project number one is pretty simple, solve a slightly complicated thermo problem, no big deal. Project two, write a 40 page report about building apartments, again other than the time tax, nothing too difficult. Project three: redesign a drill. Now this one: fuck it. I need to do testing, calculations, design, prototyping, prototype testing and three progress presentations and two 60 page papers. Thank god it's group work. That small mercy has saved my life. But even with that I've found myself saying, "I'll sleep when I'm dead." basically every night.

Our asses all use the Skype now. Though, I miss the **** out of old MSN. I miss being able to doodle stuff and send it right there in the text field. Man, those were the days.

For the most part, tired. That tired you feel after you've been outside all day running god knows where but you keep going because you know that there's nothing behind you to go back to and nothing around you to stop for. But man, it's fucking good to see you about again, reminds me of better days.

We have got to stop meeting like this, man.
