Week 5 - "For Jenny" (February 24-28, 2014)

So this is going to be super fast. Last week was our 5th week. Long story short: Thursdays are rough. The morning is all engineering. Let's just say, it's not fun. At least for me. We take lunch (though I don't, I stay to get help and make sure I have it). Then we have an afternoon of packaging. It's tough to get fired up about packaging (though I will credit my teacher by saying he does get fired up about it).  By 4:00 pm, after 7 hours in the chair, we're fried.

Friday mornings, a TA from Sac State comes in to help us with the previous days' work. Last Friday (week 5), he offered to help me with a problem that he knew I'd been stuck on the week before. I wasn't up to it and left to go take a needed break and have lunch and get away from it for a while. When I came back to class for an afternoon of sensory science, this (see picture) was up on the board. He worked out the problem from week 3 for me (that he did on his own time) to make sure I got help... even though I wasn't willing to stick around through lunch to work on it. Let's just say, I feel appreciated! Thank you, Ian.

  1. This is where your karma kicks in. Clearly you have made an impression on him and our prior efforts and lunch dedication kicked in. This is where you do get what you give. :) (and btw, that board gives me a headache, anxiety, nausea and seizures just looking at it, all greek to me!)
