Listen up all my Sony-deprived friends who shelled out for a 360! Walmart is doing a Black Friday deal where you can purchase a 120 GB Playstation 3 with Batman: Arkham Asylum, the Dark Knight, and supposedly inFamous for 299.99! Also, Gamestop just announced for Black Friday that for the same price and system, you can get LittleBIGPlanet GOTY Edition and the God of War Collection (1+2 remade with 1024 * 720 widescreen, trophy support, etc). I've got my 80 GB Backwards Compatible Model still and I'm satisfied with it...until it breaks, haha. Plus I already got LBP, and God of War? Eh...I'd get em again if it was free. But I'd still have to shell out money for it, which I dun have. Be sure to keep an eye out for other fabulous deals aside from these two and post em if they seem legit.
I managed to get 14 and a half pages for 3 labs for my Fluid Mechanics class done. Long as I get a grade for it, my grief will be dissipated. And my calc teacher, very nice Chinese immigrant, allowed me more time to get my Maple software problems done. Long as I get them in with the last bunch that are due last day of class, I'll still get grades for them, no penalty. He knows his whole class has homework to do and other classes to keep up with anyway. And now, since I apparently finished my labs several hours ahead of schedule, all I have to worry about next is a 5-10 min presentation and a 5-7 double spaced paper on Computer Integrated Manufacturing due Monday. In APA format at that.
On top of that, I picked up Assassin's Creed 2. Got the Gamestop version for PS3. With the bonus map packed inside. Haven't opened it yet. I told myself I wouldn't until I got the stuff I needed to get done out of the way.
Oh, the crank arm on my bike snapped off. Aluminum. Snapped off down the shaft. Not at the area where it attaches. So, its either spend 75 bucks to get it replaced and installed, or spend 100-110 bucks and get a new bike from Kmart or Walmart.
And Black Friday is looming. I know I'm gonna be severely tempted to spend more money on games at Gamestop before I work. I was looking more at HDTVs. I saw a couple in the 150-300 range advertised early for Black Friday deals from Best Buy, Sears, and Kmart. But so far, their reviews have been so-so. At least the movie selection going on sale's good. Star Trek (yes the new Star Trek) will be on sale for 10 bucks at Walmart/Kmart. Watchmen, the Dark Knight, and a couple other good movies will be on sale for 5-7 bucks at Best Buy.
Well, I've got a weekend and another half a week to clear before turkey day...and the impending shopping nightmare afterwards. Until next time, guys!
This is going to be the worst week for me.
-I have a triple lab to write up for Fluid Mechanics. It involves finding the mass flow rate (mass of fluid per second as it flows through a channel) for a varying channel of different diameters (a Venturi meter, an Orifice meter, and a Rotameter). Good news is I got most of my calculations figured out (I think)...but my Fluid Mechanics teacher and his Harvard degree better be in a generous mood when I go in tomorrow to ask for help with getting my formulas figured out. I have to write 3-4 pages for each of these devices as a separate lab and they're due by Friday. So I have to find the time between now and Friday (with being in class all day mon and wed, and at work tues and thurs night) to write it.
-For Calculus 1, I have to use the school's Maple program since my laptop fritzed out and my Maple software with it. So I will have to go to my school sometime and do a dozen of these software problems and turn them in by Friday at the earliest. But my Calculus teacher's pretty lenient since he knows I lost my Maple and we just suffered a rather annoying test for his class.
-For Advanced Manufacturing Techniques, I have to do a 3-5 page paper on Computer Integrated Manufacturing in APA format, Double Spaced, by Monday of next week. It'd be easy for me to type it up once I get the structure down. And I can easily find the info online.
I re-iterate...WORST. WEEK. EVER. But if I survive it, it'll be downhill from there.
