Blow Blue!!!

School life started again, and it's predictably boring. This semester I'm taking 4 subjects:

GeoSci 122 Extreme weather
Econ 401 Intermediate microecnomic theory
Math 316 Differential Equation
Stats 426 Introduction to Theoretical Statistics

which total up to a mere 13 credit hours. Still, I feel like there is not enough time to complete my assignments and readings...(Econ 401 is definitely a killer...tonnes of homework!!!). Hmm...maybe it's time to stop complaining and change my old cogenital habit - procrastination.

Ok..so back to topic. What's blow blue?? It's not blowing something until it turns blue...It's actually one of the activity in the Big House Event organized by our extreme weather profesor - Perry Samson. Oh yeah, the venue of this event was in the much famed Big House - a football stadium which was boasted to be the biggest in the United States. And it's the home for our varsity football team - the Wolverines. (ahem...we just lost to Wisconsin Badgers. Great.)

In this event, all the students were asked to invite friends and participate in a couple of experiments that determine the temperature and air flow in the stadium. Each person would be given credit for involving in the preperation, bringing a friend or joining an experiment. It was only then I found out that I had no friends...what a sad thing! (Hmm..should I feel sad for such petty stuff?) Anyway, if everything turned out well, a student should be able to get 10 points out of this event. Of course, the ever-smart donation collectors were there to raise funds for Katrina relief. (They were actually part of the reason this event was organized)

So, basically we had lots of fun there, tying balloons to seats, taking temperature around the stadium, and blowing of course (a fun job huh). Apparently, some friend of mine blew so hard until she felt dizzy (haha).

The event ended around 1.30pm, and I went back with an extra thing - a free T-shirt. Woohoo!!
