First snow

Today it snowed for the first time this school year. Being mid-October, this is pretty early for first snow. If I remember correctly from the 10 years I lived in the Rochester area and the 3 years that I've been in Ithaca, it usually starts snowing in early November.

In other news, the "short stack" does not exist anymore. It is now just a generic "stack of 3 pancakes." Somehow I finished 3 pancakes yesterday. I used to have trouble finishing the 2 pancakes that the short stack consisted of.

Spring Break Commences

After three weeks of exams, labs, projects, ridiculous homeworks, CUSat babysitting, trying to find a job and such, spring break is now upon us. Since I haven't updated in over a month, I'm going to try something new and do this in pictoral form.



CUSat testing at Cornell has ended, and the satellite is now at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque. Launch is currently slated for February 2010.



I finished the short stack at Hughes again yesterday morning. The pancakes were filled with bananas. However, Nicole is still a beast because she arrived 15 minutes late and still finished the short stack first. As seen in the picture, the pancakes are as big as Nicole's head.



Today was Dragon Day at Cornell, where the architects try to show that they're better than engineers. The dragon looked like a dragon this year. A major disappointment was the lack of large fires (aka burning the dragon). Apparently Cornell is trying to be more environmentally friendly or something like that.

Short Stack

I finished a short stack of pancakes at Hughes Dining for the first time this morning. You might think that 2 pancakes are nothing, but these pancakes are as big as the paper plates that they are served in, so they are huge like Snorlax. I've had the short stack at Hughes several times before, but I've never finished one before today (usually I'd make it to around 70% completion). I think a major factor in me finishing the short stack this morning was the banana filling.
