Here's a little information for those who have not yet gotten into college, especially if you pursue art, engineering or industrial design. Towards the end of the semester, about 3 weeks before the very last week is a magical time called finals. To other majors finals is only the last week, which consists of cramming, red bull or similarly driven nights of crazy typing and praying to the scantron god that you luck out more than 25 (or in some cases with those evil 'E' answers, 20) percent of the time.

But for us creative and hands-on types, finals begins long, long before we have to sharpen those number 2 pencils. Because in addition to those scantrons (since we have to take general studies stuff too) we actually have to produce something tangible, and in most cases, made of stuff that probably causes cancer. And that is the boat I'm sitting it.

There are now officially 2 weeks before finals week, and for me it's a sprint to the finish line with everything in my Industrial Design classes coming due. For this semester I had 3 studio classes: SolidWorks, Adv. ID 1 and Human Factors, and therefore had to work on a radio, wheelchair and bus stop respectively. While I got a lot out of the way, this is the way I'm looking:

--1 test in human factors
--3 presentations in Adv, Human Factors and Art and Cultural Heritage
--1 8 page paper that I now have to rewrite because I messed up what the paper is about in Art and Cultural Heritage
--2 more renderings in SolidWorks
--More renderings than I care to count in Adv.
--A painted functional (the teacher is gonna have to settle for sorta functional, the tuner snapped off) radio.
--A presentation board *and* powerpoint for Adv.

The point of this little message is to say this week there isn't an Epic Win/Epic Fail blog because I have been in my own little world to even notice anything outside my own projects.

But I did find this cool little site:

You get to watch your little fighter get stronger as they fight other people. You can't control them, but there is a degree of strategy involved.
