today
today, mel came over to my house.
we built a model rocket for dr. lockert for no apparent reason. the fins refused to stay glued. there was much frustration. spare moments were spent making jokes about the male anatomy.
i think my favorite part was the instructions for the rocket:
the very first thing on the page:
“HOW TO USE THESE INSTRUCTIONS”
and then steps a through j on HOW TO READ INSTRUCTIONS. because we couldn’t have figured THAT out.
then:
“At this point, it’s a good idea to rest for a few minutes, get up and stretch or read through the next steps before doing any more work.”
the instructions actually tell us to take a break.
and, right after a step that involved working with the body tube:
“Locate the body tube.”
because in the previous five seconds we totally lost it.
also, i had two tutors today. back-to-back. asdfglkdsjawqasas.
my brain is fried.
