Hallow what?

Yesterday was Halloween and it was pretty much the longest day ever with almost no Halloweeny things to do.

10am-2pm: work

5:30-7:00pm: took a test on the intricacies of MOSFET's, 3 to 8 bit encoders/decoders/multiplexers and mutltilevel NAND circuitry for my Digital Circuits class. (Tests are hard when you can't make it to class)

What a crazy class, I'm taking it for my own amusement. The whole class is basically a series of logic puzzles. It keeps me sharp, sort of . I know this sounds cliche but nothing really compares to the joy of learning something new. The a-ha! moment, that sudden illumination is something I live for. Hopefully I can keep myself in an environment where this is the norm and dare I say encouraged.

7:30-9:00pm: night take off and landing practice with my instructor. It was mind blowing as usual, night flying is so peaceful. Except for the landing part when your heart tries to leap out of your throat.

10:30-5am: Graveyard shift on console-put together a monte carlo simulation for a quick sep analysis between 2am-3am.

I don't think I've ever done so many varied things in one day.
