So yesterday on my Plant walk, I collected about 12 pounds of various fruits from the campus orchard, lemons limes, oranges, bloodoranges, avacadoes and apricots. Yum. Our teacher let us, but we really are not supposed to take fruit, even if it is picked up off the ground. So today, we cannot drink the water from campus, shower or bath because they found a "varmit" in the water supply, but neglected to tell us that detail.
PLans for week
1 barbeque tonight
2 don't use broken arm
study for plants test and lab
finish final project
make movie, make movie review
journal
Paper for History final
So consequentially...I'm out. To get things done

Friday, May 20, 2005
1.Two engineering students crossing the campus when one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?"
The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said,'Take what you want.'"
The first engineer nodded approvingly, "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit."
2. To the optimist, the glass is half full.
To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.
To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
3.A pastor, a doctor and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers.
The engineer fumed, "What's with these guys? We must have been waiting for 15 minutes!"
The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such ineptitude!"
The pastor said, "Hey, here comes the greens keeper. Let's have a word with him."
"Hi George! Say, what's with that group ahead of us? They're rather slow, aren't they?"
The greens keeper replied, "Oh, yes, that's a group of blind fire-fighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime."
The group was silent for a moment. The pastor said, "That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight."
The doctor said, "Good idea. And I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist buddy and see if there's anything he can do for them."
The engineer said, "Why can't these guys play at night?"
4.What is the difference between Mechanical Engineers and Civil Engineers?
Mechanical Engineers build weapons and Civil Engineers build targets.
5. There was an engineer who had an exceptional gift for fixing all things mechanical. After serving his company loyally for over 30 years, he happily retired. Several years later the company contacted him regarding a seemingly impossible problem they were having with one of their multimillion-dollar machines. They had tried everything and everyone else to get the machine to work but to no avail. In
desperation, they called on the retired engineer who had solved so many
of their problems in the past.
The engineer reluctantly took the challenge. He spent a day studying the huge machine. At the end of the day, he marked a small "x" in chalk on a particular component of the machine and stated, "This is where your problem is." The part was replaced and the machine worked perfectly again.
The company received a bill for $50,000 from the engineer for his service. They demanded an itemized accounting of his charges.
The engineer responded briefly: "One chalk mark, $1.00. Knowing where to put it $49,999.00."
It was paid in full and the engineer retired again in peace.
6.The graduate with a Science degree asks, "Why does it work?"
The graduate with an Engineering degree asks, "How does it work?"
The graduate with an Accounting degree asks, "How much will it cost?"
The graduate with an Arts degree asks, "Do you want fries with that?"
7. Three engineering students were gathered together discussing the possible designer of the human body.
One said, "It was a mechanical engineer. Just look at all the joints."
Another said, "No, it was an electrical engineer. The nervous system has many thousands of electrical connections."
The last one said, "Actually it was a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?"
8. An architect, an artist and an engineer were discussing whether it was better to spend time with the wife or a mistress. The architect said he enjoyed time with his wife, building a solid foundation for an enduring relationship. The artist said he enjoyed time with his mistress, because of the passion and mystery he found there.
The engineer said, "I like both."
The others: "Both?"
Engineer: "Yeah. If you have a wife and a mistress, they will each assume you are spending time with the other woman, and you can go to the lab and get some work done."
9. An engineer was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess." He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket. The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week." The engineer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket. The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess,I'll stay with you and do ANYTHING you want." Again the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket. Finally,the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, that I'll stay with you for a week and do anything you want.
Why won't you kiss me?"
The engineer said, "Look I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that's cool."
The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said,'Take what you want.'"
The first engineer nodded approvingly, "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit."

Monday
Today was very interesting i suppose. Went to computers, and then in studio, we discovered something rather disturbing. Our room is infested with Cockroaches! ewww. So we informed the college secretary and our room should be fumigated in the near future.
I went to History, where i found i am extremely lacking in historical information of the california missions. Too bad it was in fourth grade.:( Oddly enough, my fellow clssmates nominated me for a student service award, either to the college, or class, or volunteering in other ways. Given that I was the student who collecting the nominations, and i did nto see any nominations with my name on it. I didn't go to the awards ceremony. Apparently, students came to Astrid (My advisor) with votes that they couldn't give to me, well, cuz i was tabbing them, and well, that would be odd. I got Kevin's gift finished, thank goodness the cad lab is cheap. I am posting a link so that you can see what the gift was. I'm out.

Saturday
So after a seis de Mayo Party last night and a rather early start today, i went to studio to work on a project with kelly. Now I am done with homework for the weekend and realize that this is my last true summer. Sure, i might have a job, but i probably won't be full time. From now on, my summers will be all work no play. Maybe even all class. ewww. But this summer will be spent back at home in Ohio, and in Memphis with cousins I have not seen in 4 years. Ouch. There are also some couisns i would like to see that i have never seen. Hmmm. I hope that will happen. Well enough theory, I am hungry.

Well, I would title this, but then i would just get into trouble
There is a new store that sells husbands, and has just opened in Ottawa, where a woman may go to choose a husband from among many men. The store is comprised of 6 floors, and the men increase in positive attributes as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch. As you open the door to any floor you may choose a man from that floor, but if you go up a floor, you cannot go back down except to exit the building.
So a woman goes to the shopping center to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads: “Floor 1 - These men have jobs.” The woman reads the sign and says to herself, “Well, that’s better than my last boyfriend, but I wonder what’s further up?” So up she goes.
The second floor sign reads: “Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids.” The woman remarks to herself, “That’s great, but there's more to a relationship.” And up she goes again.
The third floor sign reads: “Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids, and are extremely good looking.” “Hmmm, better.” she says. “But I wonder what’s upstairs?”
The fourth floor sign reads: “Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, and help with the housework.” “Wow!” exclaims the woman, “very tempting. BUT, there must be more further up!” And again she heads up another flight.
The fifth floor sign reads: “Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.” “Oh, mercy me! But just think what must be awaiting me further on?” So up to the sixth floor she goes.
The sixth floor sign reads: “Floor 6 - You are visitor 3,456,789,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please.”

It's cinco de Mayo, did you know? Well on this manic Thursday, I am finally done. WEll not done, but done with the highly concentrated work demands. Hmmm, yay? On Tues, I had a history of landscape architecture test. So many names, so much writing. But i did fell a little better afterwards when Astrid called me over to congratulate me, once again on a job well done. She did not agree with Stratton's belief that the project should only be done in markers and colored pencils, but, what could i do? Get a bad grade for the sake of what color I want my trees. (If you saw it my last project was done in green, purple and blue, ironically the only colors contained in my closet.) It made me feel a little better, even though i got the freebee question wrong. What does ASLA stand for, duh! stupid Laura. I told myself, no it isn't american society of landscape architects, it's something more odd. Oh, on monday we went to downtown Slo for class and looked at urban plazas and their relations to people, there will be a link to the pic, i think, on the title of this entry. On wednesday i had a plants test on all 100 plants from the past few weeks, free back massage to whomsoever can tell me, what crenate means. (without research, dad) Then yet again this morning i took a lab plants test for identification, since the list is now longer and the tests are cumulative, well, lets just say, its getting harder, but currently, i have a 93 in lab, so i am not too worried. In computers today, we had a lesson on sketch-up, basically the only 3-d application i will use, and now i am home.
PLans for the weekend-
Work on a timepiece poster, the twenties
Put stuff in storaghe to make the moveout easier

May Day
It's been another long and busy weekend for me. On Friday morining for my presentation in LA 253, I had to discuss and explain my design to 2 5th years and 3 professors. They liked my design, I guess and the fifth years appreciated my presentation. Quote, "the lack of ums was great!" Who knew? My plants class for the day had been cancelled, so Jackie and I headed directly to the Gym where we ran for a half an hour then played raquetball. My new raquet is very tennis-like so i had to play with the Bandido, and probably will until my wrists are strong enough to play with my own. :) Later, I headed over to Jackie's with the Larc girls and we had a wonderful potluck dinner with salad potstickers, fruit salad and cheesy potatoes. MMMmmm, we then had cupcakes for dessert. The night went quicky and we only watched one movie, Life as a House. It was very, well chick flicky. The main character boy was apparently a duplicate of Jackies brother, so she identified well with the punk :) In the morning Anna and I headed out early tio hit a garage sale of a graduationg Larc student. I bought a chinese painting set and anna bought some circle templates. Apparently the girl, Amber is heading to Florida to work for imagineering. They loved her senior project of the biodome on Mars and will be hiring her in the next year.
Later when i came bnack to the apartment, it was a little smoky. I cold smell meat so i didn't care much. But then i heard brenda scream, its on fire! So, i got to use the fire extinguisher for the first time and then our room fire alarm went off, but all was well, caus eours was the only one, the fire was out, and the artichokes were ok. So Brenda ended up ordering pizza, and we headed to the movie a little later.
The movie, was a whole other story. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe was filled with an odd sense of humor that I absolutely enjoyed. It makes me wish i had read the book first, but then i would be like those idiots who say the book was better, but not know, it was a radio show first. meh. what can you do? We went to Bali's for Ice cream afterwards and then played poker for a little before bed, i did not win, but i did well, and there was no money, so no worries Mom.
Now, today, again I will be busy. I have two midterms to study for, a much needed grocery trip and two loads of laundry, and i will not have my cell with me, as it is charging, so good luck. I'm off.
