lot more happened than i had anticipated, and all the more to make this extremely long.
finally got chapter 1 of 15 of a work, not top gun out. had planned for it to be the first upload i put onto the writing workshop forum, but a halloween event came up, and i initially wanted to release not top gun once i had written all fifteen chapters. at least it sees the light of day after all my "hyping" it last year. tbh its pretty outdated and kinda weird, because i thought of the whole premise of it while at work. lost in space, my actual first upload, was thought up of while scrolling through my liked songs playlist on spotify (i know, boring), and the plot for no problem was thought up while in the shower. my mind likes to work in mysterious wryyys... unfortunately. anyhow, now that the first chapter is out, id like to hope (or cope, in my case) that having it out there gives me a little bit of a push to finish writing the sixth chapter, because uh, yeah... at least im getting some more work in on the whole thing.
as for life stuff, i was told that i could get a look at some of the courses that im able to take at the uni im transferring to, and honestly, im kind of excited to see some of the classes i need to/can take. some courses on there that im hyped for are thermodynamics, fluid dynamics and applied fluid dynamics (ill get to this later), robotics, mechatronics, materials and manufacturing processes, and hvac principles (just think of air filtration systems). as i plan on and want to go into the design aspect of my course of study, i just think im going to have a fun time with those.
yes, there is a difference between fluid dynamics and applied fluid dynamics. i also learned that the applied fluid dynamics course i took at community college isnt transferrable, as in the uni im going to its actually an upper-div elective. essentially, i need to take applied fluid dynamics again when the time comes that i want to take it. fluid dynamics is a required course for me, and goes about explaining in general how fluids deal with surfaces and are dealt with. to be honest, its quite fun, i really enjoy it.
of course, with upsides, there are always downsides. solid dynamics is one class that i have to take that i know im not ready for, and an addon is mechanical vibrations and linear systems. honestly, thats going to be rough. at least theres the other classes to look to.
meanwhile, at my final semester of community college, engineering clubs picked up activities again. were prepping and modifying the boat (that we made in house, hull and everything) for another solar regatta, which is a race of solar-powered boats. the title of it is actually somewhat misleading, as the boats also have to be able to run on battery power alone as well, but saying solar and battery regatta doesnt really roll off the tongue very well, does it? were thinking of riding it on a hydrofoil, but since we have no idea how that works, weve been turning to research papers from universities in europe who study this stuff like its their life. its really insightful, if we put aside all the matrices and linear systems. one of the requirements of being in the competition is that each team has to submit a little video as a progress report of sorts, so our professor decided to "abuse" the beta avatar feature on zoom and make a little cartoon meeting where we bring up how were going to be adding illegal features and making the boat do weird things. of course, were actually not going to do that, were here just to make people laugh... and crush the competition. maybe i should mention that my school is back-to-back-to-back-to-back champion. so yeah, these next few months are going to be interesting. along with the two classes and one lab im still taking, its going to be busy.
as im writing this, my brother just got a pair of tickets to another show at a nightclub thats in two weeks. last time i was at a nightclub i got to take part in a discord meetup that involved gareth emery. hes a music producer who mainly produces trance music and has been in the scene for a really long time, so being able to meet him was absolutely nuts. ive had some crazy highs in my life but that was something insanely different. but im pretty ready for the event in two weeks. ready to party. thats all i got. pretty eventful week, i must say. still waiting for ticket waitlist for the vegas thing to come out, but again, gotta stick to the now.
