So I've been lazy and not using a camera this week, so this pic is created from my handy-dandy webcam. This weekend has been completely exhausting, in a good way. Fair, Pearl Harbor, pool party; all good. Pearl Harbor was interesting and claustrophobic, especially in the submarine. Those people that get assigned to submarines must have a great mental stability, because even the thought of sleeping on the bunks except for the top sent me into a small rush of fear. At the fair, I spent less of my scrip playing games like I used to do, and more to sample the food there, especially the ones at Le Gourmet. Nice to know that my parents' money is going to me stuffing my face for the winter...-_- Anyway...What did any of that rant have to do with physics? First off, at Pearl Harbor, there was a giant film of oil by the Arizona Memorial, from a mix of the ferry oil and the oil stuck within the warship that could never be fully removed. This created a thin film of interference, which in turn made for a colorful refraction-like surface on the low-tide water. During my malasada shift, speed could never stay constant due to the slow cooking-time and the lack-of-ready-dough. Even when there was enough dough and four fryers, demand greatly exceeded the current supply, causing a negative acceleration of us whipping out malasadas. Thin-film intereference was present in the bubbles used at the party, as was pressure in the water guns and the sound waves emanating from the speakers which were on for the entire time.
Sorry if my blogs have been lacking lately. I have no real excuse other than that of pure exhaustion from the course of the last few weeks. Just a couple more before a little of my stresses can be relieved, but until then, life won't be that happy. Let's see how we're doing next week...
Yay for three-day weekends! Boo for not enough recovery time! Yay for friends hanging out with me for more time than what we spend at school!
