I'm such a nerd

I'm such a nerd. My sister may think she has that market cornered, but I think all she has on me is a CS degree instead of being a business major. So, yesterday morning as I was sitting (kinda horizontally) on the couch at the institute trying to stay awake before I went to economics, I had a thought that went something like this: 1. The moon has mass --it has a gravitational force. 2. The moons gravitational force has some effect even as far away as the Earth. If not we wouldn't have tides. 3. The moon orbits around the earth. 4. Does the moons orbit and gravitational pull have any effect on the earth's rotation. Or, would the length of a day be different if the moon were not present? Then, later that day, one of my friends was having some problems with her physics homework. So I looked at it and helped her with a few of the questions she was having problems with. As a business major, I am not sure I should be able to help her with such problems. Another point is that my camcorder was giving an error that wouldn't clear out. It wouldn't record or do anything because of a Condensation Error. Letting it dry out would not clear it out. Evidently this error is not uncommon for JVC camcorders. What do I do? Take it somewhere for repairs? Nope, I open it up and get the error cleared out, then close it back up. Works fine now. I wonder what my sister will do to try and beat that.

Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day!

I think I am getting sick. And I am not just using this as an excuse to not do anything on Valentines Day. Ok, maybe I am using it as an excuse, but I am not making it up to use as an excuse.

One of my friends has been sick the past few days and I gave her rides a few times to places she needed to get to. She was pretty sick, I am no where near as sick as she was (at least not yet).

Anyways, her boyfriend was out of town for a wedding this weekend and wanted to give her flowers. (They had just barely gotten back together so he had made plans to go over some time ago when he was single.) Through a series of events I was given the task to pick up the flowers on while taking her home yesterday. After a little bit of driving around to find the flower shop, I went in and picked up the flowers. Great. Looked good. Had a card to her, so there would be no confusion over who they were from. Great.

As I was walking back to the car thinking how great this was and how she really needed to get home and into bed (also a little bit of a though on how I should have filled up with gas earlier) a woman (with a man in tow) said "She is going to love them."

It took me a second to realize what was going on, but somewhere in town, there is a woman that thinks I could be a great boyfriend, because I picked up flowers for a friends girlfriend. Its great. I did have to pay or anything.

p.s. Matt just came out with a list of 104 Thank you Jasons all regarding this mornings service project.

これは英語のやつと違います。

ハッピーバレンタインデー

昨日からちょっと風ひってる。まだそんなに悪くないけど頭がちょっと痛くてのどが痛いです。どこにも行きたくないがバレンタインデーだから友達がいろいろの活動に誘うってる。最近日本語練習してないから間違いが多いかもしれない。
