Tonight was the most wonderful night ever.  Last night Paul sent me an IM saying that he had a surprise for me Friday night.  Well, I was not originally going to stop by campus because I had a long hard week of work and was tired and needed rest.  So I went to campus tonight not knowing what to expect.  I sat around for an hour or more, waiting on Paul to finish up what he was doing.  When he finished what he was working on he pulled me aside and told me that Shawna was going to be here tonight!!!  Well needless to say I was and am ecstaticJ.  I have not been so happy and so full of energy since the last time I saw Shawna; tonight was a real blessing that she could be here.  So when I found out that Shawna was on campus me and some of the other guys from the floor went up to ELH3 to see her.  When we got through with all the hugs and screaming and saying hi, we went down to the Quad lounge to play games and have fun.  We played Balderdash for an hour or so then we went to Whataburger for dinner around 11ish.  When we came back Shawna pulled out an exoskeleton of her spider Timmy (she brought it for Ben).  In a nut shell I really missed Shawna and hope we get to hang out more this weekend.  You know, there is just something about her that makes me smile.

Wow, last night was crazy!!!  Go, Quad 2; with three injuries and one expulsion from the football game.  Yowza!  To begin the crazy evening I went to campus to work on a lab assignment for I&C.  We were to hookup and run a DC electric motor for our lab.  Well needless to say, it didnt work.  Our biggest problem was getting 125v 3-phase AC to convert to DC.  So, yeah, we finally found the recifier and hooked up all three phases to the AC side of the rectifier and then hooked up a multimeter to the DC side and read the voltage output.  Whooowee!! We found out that we were getting 360 volts of DC electricity out of the rectifier!!!  So we sat around for some time trying to think of how to reduce the 360v DC power source.  We finally decided to hook up a large variable resistor and crank down the voltage.  This should work.  HAHAHA.  When we turned on the power to our circuit we blew up the resistor, fried the fuse and made a very very bright flash of electricity.  Needless to say, we all jumped out of our skins.  Come to find out we hooked a 3 ohm resistor to the 360v power source and sent 120 AMPS through the resistor.  OOPS!!!!!!!!  So that quickly made us go home.

Well I didnt go home right away.  I went to the guys football game where we witnessed the twisting of a knee and two head injuries and an expulsion from the game.  Some how Brian (a new freshman) stepped wrong and tried to turn while his foot stayed in one position.  He thinks that he tore the ACL.  So yeah, he was in great pain last night..  Then not five minuits latter, Matt and Tim (another new freshman) ran into each other and whacked their heads together.  Now this is quite a feat to be done.  See, Tim is like 6' 7" and Matt is like 5' 11".  Quite the hight difference.  They were trying to get to the QB of the opposing team and colided.  Matt hit his head on the side of Tim's head.  The force caused Matt to black out and Tim to be dizzy and have blurry vision.  There was talk of going to the hospital just before I had to go home.

So that was my crazy night.  See'ya later.
