sept 24, bring it on

So I had a test last Friday in economics. It made me laugh. "Made you laugh?" you might ask. Yes. The professor themed the test w/ Anchorman. There were random answers dispersed throughout like "LOUD NOISES," or "60% of the time it works every time." He also had some questions like the one using Ron Burgundy and the amount of burritos or scotch he had and the one w/ Champ and Brick and their squirrels and chocolate. It wasn't a bad test at all... Ah, if all teachers were so easy going and fun. Dr. Macy Finke is easy to pay attention and listen to while at the same time making it easy to understand the concepts and presenting them in a challenging way.

Unlike the professor that teaches my plant prop (and intro hort) classes whose name I can't remember. He gives the most info and the least details. He'll talk and talk and I don't have a clue what he's trying to drive at. He'll go off on tangents that I don't know if I need to remember or not. Don't get me wrong, he's a nice guy and all; but he should not be a teacher... at all. His lack of structure makes it very hard to take notes and he speeds through the power points so fast I can't write it down fast enough. Oh well. I'll stop rambling.

I couldn't help but notice that the Patchster commented on the last post. Well here's something for you that you might appreciate (maybe the only person that would be able to. maybe Austin, not sure). In any case, in Micro Economics [the class with the awesome teacher], he was talking about utility and how much satisfaction we get out of goods, etc etc. The unit for utility is the util (pronounced YOO-dle). And all through the rest of the class (which was only a total 30ish mins long 'cause he's the best) I couldn't stop thinking about HALO and the map-- headlong I think-- with the blue grav-lift that we affectionately nicknamed The Yoodle.

ON THE NOTE OF HALO! I purchased a [halo 3 edition] 360 and pre-ordered HALO 3. Uber awesomeness is what that is. Some things that are cool:

• The graphics rock something awesome!
• New guns such as the laser thing, and the ability to pull a turret off the mount and use it. also the re-introduction of the assault rifle. The magnum's look has changed back to that of the first HALO pistol, so don't know how that's going to play out. There are also some brute pistol things that I'm not completely sure about either.
• New grenades, or grenade-like thingys. The force bubble thing that puts up an impenetrable shield around you, handy in a pinch. And there's a trip mine, I think they called it that, that you can lay down and when a warthog hits... boom, dead.
  
• In the campaign, when the 2nd player joins, he's no longer a 2nd master chief, but instead the arbiter. Also, if I'm not mistaken (and I'm sure that it's true for xbox live campaign), you'll be able to have 4 player campaign. And the other 2 players won't be more arbiters and master chiefs either: they will each be unique (and wicked cool lookin') elites with names and backgrounds.
• That there's the ATV vehicle, the mongoose, is cool too.
  
• ***one thing that I hope they bring back is the infinite grenades option in multiplayer, that'd be sweet 'cause I've missed no shield, no radar, active camo, grenade matches... ah the fun of HALO 1***
